Conventional photoacoustic tomography (PAT) systems use bulky, expensive Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers which limits its usage in clinics. The low repetition rate of these lasers makes them not suitable for real-time imaging as well. Compact pulsed laser diodes (PLD) are being currently used for PAT syste...
