Abstract
Sensitive optical vibrometers have been proven to be a key component for enabling non-contact photoa-
coustic sensing. However, most reported vibrometers use free-space optics, which are too bulky and costly
for many applications. In this paper, we demonstrate the detection of photoacoustic signals with a photonic
integrated circuit (PIC)-based Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV), realized on a silicon-on-insulator platform.
The photoacoustic signals are generated from a phantom with an embedded absorbing target. We report a
linear correlation between the detected photoacoustic signals and the absorber concentration, which proves
that PIC-based LDVs can be used for compact and non-contact photoacoustic sensing. Related Research Topics
