Аннотация

With its thickness decreasing down to 60 μm, the (K 0.45 Na 0.55 ) 0.96 Li 0.04 NbO 3 (KNLN) single crystals maintains superior piezoelectric constant (d 33 = 675 pC N -1 ). In combination with a 200 μm core multimode fiber, the successful fabrication of a tiny intravascular photoacoustic probe with a 1 mm outside diameter is achieved. The intravascular photoacoustic imaging of the atherosclerotic lesion of a human artery is presented. In the time-domain and frequency-domain images, calcified regions are clearly distinguishable from surrounding tissue. These interesting results demonstrate that KNN-based lead-free piezoelectric single crystals are a promising candidate to substitute for lead-based piezoelectric materials for photoacoustic imaging in the future.
