Abstract

We demonstrate a jitter noise reduction technique for acoustic radiation force impulse microscopy via photoacoustic detection (PA-ARFI), which promises to be capable of measuring cell mechanics. To reduce the jitter noise induced by Q-switched pulsed laser operated at high repetition frequency, photoacoustic signals from the surface of an ultrasound transducer are aligned by cross-correlation and peak-to-peak detection, respectively. Each method is then employed to measure the displacements of a target sample in an agar phantom and a breast cancer cell due to ARFI application, followed by the quantitative comparison between their performances. The suggested methods for PA-ARFI significantly reduce jitter noises, thus allowing us to measure displacements of a target cell due to ARFI application by less than 3 μm.

Fig. 2 (a) The representative RF signal which is composed of three components: a trigger signal, a surface PA signal, and a target PA signal. The trigger signal represents the signal which was distributed from a function generator for the system synchronization. The surface and target PA signal were generated from the transducer surface and the target, respectively.

Both surface and target PA signals were drifted because of the pulse to pulse timing jitter of the Q-switched pulsed laser.
