Abstract
The blood glucose non-invasive detection has become the research hot-spot. The photoacoustic spectroscopy is a well-promising, high-efficient and noninvasive detection method because it combines the advantages of the pure optic and pure ultrasonic. In practice, the photoacoustic detection of blood glucose is impacted by many factors because the human body is a complicated bio-system. To study the effect of flow velocity in the blood vessel on the photoacoustic detection of blood glucose, a photoacoustic detection system based on optical parameter oscillator (OPO) pulsed laser induced ultrasonic was established. In this system, a 532nm pumped Nd: YAG OPO pulsed laser was used as the excitation source, and the photoacoustic signals of glucose were captured by ultrasonic transducer. Moreover, a set of blood circulation system was built to simulate the real blood flow situation in the human body. The experiments of the photoacoustic detection of glucose aqueous solutions with different concentrations at different flow velocities were experimentally investigated. Experimental results show that the photoacoustic peak-to-peak value linearly increases with the glucose concentration, but it decreases with the increase of the flow velocity although the profiles of photoacoustic signals don’t change.
