Abstract
Fabry–Pérot sensors have been used to produce in-vivo photoacoustic images of exquisite quality. However, for ease of construction and interrogation, they are produced in a planar form. Planar arrays suffer from a limited detection aperture, which leads to artifacts in the reconstruction of the initial pressure distribution. Here, an L-shaped detection geometry is described that allows a greater field of view by placing a second planar array orthogonal to the first. This captures data from the deeper lying regions of interest and mitigates the limited view, thus reducing artifacts in the reconstructed initial pressure distribution.
