Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a label-free biomedical imaging technique based on photoacoustic effects. PAI can differentiate various tissues by the different absorption coefficients of each molecule. Therefore, the wavelength band around 1700 nm is advantageous for finding lipid tissue because lipids have a higher absorption coefficient than water at around 1700 nm. In this paper, we demonstrate a stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) pulsed fiber laser with a variable repetition rate for PA generation in 1700 nm. The pulse repetition rate and the pulse energy are inversely proportional under the given optical gain. Therefore, by utilizing a pulse laser with variable repetition rate, we can determine the optimal pulse energy and measurement speed required by the system.
