基于光纤技术，结合光声和声光器件，研制了一种超声探头。与光声源和声光接收元件相关联的固有高频和宽带宽可以为生物组织的“虚拟活检”开辟一条道路。提出了一种基于微光机械系统（MOMS）的宽带超声探头的设计方法。
An ultrasonic probe was developed by using, in conjunction, optoacoustic and acousto-optic devices based on fiber optic technology. The intrinsic high frequency and wide bandwidth associated both to the opto-acoustic source and to the acousto-optic receiving element could open a way towards a "virtual biopsy" of biological tissue. A Micro-Opto-Mechanical-System (MOMS) approach is proposed to realize the broadband ultrasonic probe on micromachined silicon frames suited to be mounted on the tip of optical fibers.
