A customizable fabrication pipeline enables optically transparent ultrasound transducers (TUTs) whose measured optical and acoustic performance matches simulation predictions.
- Why it matters: Commercial ultrasound transducers are optically opaque, forcing oblique setups that reduce simplicity, alignment quality, and signal fidelity for opto-ultrasound systems.
- What they did: The protocol covers material selection, acoustic simulation–guided design optimization, and fabrication steps including surface processing, electrode deposition, and acoustic-layer integration, followed by optical and acoustic characterization.
- The result: The workflow takes about ~3 weeks for moderately experienced users and supports high-fidelity opto-ultrasound integration in multimodal biomedical systems.
