Technical Field

The invention relates to a method for realizing imaging by using a shock wave effect generated in air, in particular to a method for three-dimensionally displaying by using the effect of generating shock waves in air by using a photoacoustic effect.

Background

Shock waves are the phenomenon of compression that occurs when a gas flows at supersonic speeds. We tend to do this by the photoacoustic effect: one uses the frequency domain method to generate the photoacoustic effect by rapidly scanning air with a continuous laser to generate the shock wave, and the other uses the time domain method to generate the shock wave by adjusting the photoacoustic effect generated by irradiating air with a pulse laser.

Frequency domain methods produce photo-generated effects take the example of the photo-acoustic effect produced by Ryan m.sullenberger scanning air at the speed of sound with 1907nm continuous laser light. The basic principle is that laser is used for carrying out frequency modulation on the laser through a vibrating mirror, and the modulated laser scans a specified air area at a certain frequency. From the hardware construction, we can see that it has two fatal shortcomings, (1) the galvanometer frequency affects the photoacoustic signal; (2) is susceptible to external interference.

The time domain method has a great deal of application in generating photoacoustic effect, and is also a main method applied to the field of biological body imaging at present. Take the laboratory of Razansky, Daniel as an example. The basic principle is to irradiate laser on a living organism to generate a photoacoustic effect, and to reconstruct an image by receiving photoacoustic signals. At present, imaging in air by using the photoacoustic effect has not been realized.

The invention adopts a time domain method, realizes air disturbance in a three-dimensional space by modulating light, and realizes the scattering display of a three-dimensional image on disturbed air. In contrast to the above time-domain methods, this is quite different in imaging of living organisms.
