A fast photo-acoustic (PA) imaging system was developed and tested on phantom sample, which consists of an acoustic lens,a multi-element linear transducer array, and the peak detection circuit. The multi-element linear transducer array consists of 64 elements. By utilizing an acoustic lens, the PA signals generated from the sample are imaged and detected by a multi-element linear transducer array, which directly changes the PA signals into the homologous electronic signals. Thus we can map the image more rapidly, with the peak detection circuit, which was designed specially. Compared to other exiting technology and algorithm, the PA imaging system based on an acoustic lens and the peak detection technology was characterized with speediness and real-time. The images reconstructed in this experiment have high definition and resolution,and may have potential for developing an appliance for clinical diagnosis.

Following a recent experiment in which ambient noise (acoustic daylight) was used as the sole source of acoustic illumination for detecting objects in the ocean, a full wave-theoretic analysis is presented in this article of the visibility of a pressure-release spherical target when illuminated by ambient noise showing various degrees of anisotropy. The basis of the analysis is a new, accurate approximation for the Green's function representing the field around the sphere. From this expression, an analysis of the acoustic contrast is developed, as observed at the output of an endfire line array, which constitutes the acoustic lens. Our essential conclusion is that, even in isotropic noise, which presents one of the least favourable conditions for incoherent imaging, the visibility of the sphere (i.e. the ratio of intensities with the sphere present and absent) is approximately 4 dB. This is consistent with our early experimental observations, and is adequate to form the basis of an acoustic daylight imaging system.
