Optoacoustic tomography (OAT) is a promising hybrid imaging modality for many biomedical applications. However, the use of Nd:YAG laser as excitation source makes the OAT system expensive, and non-portable. Miniaturization of OAT system is an immediate task to make it a potential tool for both precl...
