title: Fast wavefront adaptive holography in Nd:YVO4 for ultrasound optical tomography imaging.
abstract: Several approaches exist to perform acousto-optic imaging of multiple-scattering media such as biological samples. Up to now, most of the coherent detection methods use holographic setup based on photorefractive crystals such as BSO or SPS. One of the issue of these techniques is the moderate response time compared to the speckle decorrelation time in biological sample. We introduce a new approach for the holographic detection based on two-wave mixing in a Nd:YVO4 gain medium enabling us to perform a fast wavefront adaption (50 μs) of the speckle field from a multiple-scattering sample.
