LASER SYSTEM FOR AN OPTOACOUSTIC PROBE

Abstract: an optoacoustic probe for optoacoustic imaging of a volume is provided. the optoacoustic probe can include a laser system that has a power supply that can be configured to provide a constant voltage, and a first capacitor bank that may be coupled to the power supply to receive the constant voltage and configured to supply power to a corresponding first flash lamp upon reaching a first determined charge state of the first capacitor bank. the first capacitor bank can include a first closed loop feedback configured with a first setpoint that determines a first charge time for the first determined charge state, and the first flash lamp can be configured to emit a first light along a light path. the optoacoustic probe can also include an optical window that may be configured to carry the first light along the light path to the volume.
