System and method for photoacoustic inspection of an object. Ghent University
System (300) for photoacoustic inspection of an object (10). The system comprises: a broadband emission source (305) configured to generate an emission beam (3151,..., 315N); a direction apparatus (320) comprising at least one spectrum splitter (340) configured to split the emission beam into at least a first and a second component (3451,..., 345M), the direction apparatus being configured to sequentially direct the respective components to N respective locations (1511,..., 15N1,...,15M1,..., 15NM) on the object at N times to generate N respective acoustic waves within the object, wherein the ...
