Speckle pattern generated by the probe beam observed for various moments (i)–(ix) in (a). Among them, (i) is the initial speckle pattern, (ii) and (iii) are recorded when the shutter is off, and no excitation beam is illuminated on the sample, and (iv)–(ix) are a sequence of patterns associated with the excitation of PA effect. (a) Measured speckle correlation changes as a function of excitation pulse energy (right axis) and the ultrasound piezoelectric transducer-based PA amplitude as a function of excitation pulse energy (left axis).
