Use of dye sensitizers for increased photoacoustic mechanosensation

Abstract excerpt

The photoacoustic effect refers to the generation of pressure waves in matter stimulated by light[1]. In the context of radiology (i.e., photoacoustic imaging) waves generated by pulsed laser light are detected by an ultrasound transducer[2–4]. It has been shown that photoacoustic waves produce a mechanical, tactile sensation in humans on bare skin[5]. In a series of psychophysical experiments, performed with both...
