| Abstract | Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a new imaging modality based on the generation of ultrasound in biological tissue by laser irradiation. It would be desirable to use laser diodes as excitation sources for PA since they are less expensive and more compact than commonly used Nd:YAG lasers. Laser diodes exhibit a higher pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and a lower pulse energy compared to Nd:YAG lasers. In order to increase the SNR of PA imaging using laser diodes, we propose multispectral photoacoustic coded excitation (MS-PACE) based on orthogonal unipolar Golay codes (OUGC). This concept allows acquiring photoacoustic data generated by two laser diodes at two different wavelengths simultaneously and separating them afterwards. The SNR gain and coding gain compared to time equivalent averaging is analytically derived. Furthermore, the feasibility of the concept is experimentally verified. Two laser diodes, emitting light at 850 nm and 905 nm, are triggered according the OUGC scheme. They irradiate a metal slab. The resulting PA signals are acquired using a reconfigured clinical ultrasound system with an 128 element linear array. The data are decoded and images are formed using a delay-and-sum algorithm. Using an 8 bit sequence the SNR is increased by 8.68 dB (905 nm) and 8.87 dB (850 nm). These results are in good agreement with the theoretical SNR gain of 9.03 dB. The resulting images allow a clear discrimination of both wavelengths, demonstrating the feasibility of MS-PACE using OUGC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
