  • Ultrasonic probe and method for the optical detection of ultrasonic waves
    Patent number: 8240211
    Abstract: An ultrasonic probe for optical detection of ultrasonic waves includes a membrane integrated into the probe for contact with a body, the membrane being excited to vibration by reflected ultrasonic waves, leading to a change in optical path length of a beam of light directed at the membrane, which change is determined interferometrically.
    Type: Grant
