Abstract

An apparatus may include a substrate, a light source system and a receiver system. The light source system may be configured to emit light through an area of the substrate, from a first side of the substrate towards a target object in contact with a second and opposite side of the substrate. The receiver system may include one or more receivers residing in, on or proximate the substrate. The receiver system may be configured to detect surface acoustic waves propagating in the substrate corresponding to a photoacoustic response of the target object to light emitted by the light source system.…
