Photoacoustic (PA) conversion of metal film absorbers is known to be inefficient because of their low thermal expansion and high optical reflection, as compared to polymeric materials containing light absorbing fillers. Here, highly efficient PA conversion is demonstrated in metal films. By using a metal film absorber sandwiched by transparent polymer layers, PA conversion is significantly enhanced, which is even comparable to in the highest reported in the CNT-polymer composites. Such enhancement is accomplished by ultrathin metal film (10 nm) capable of facilitating heat transfer to the adjacent polymers having high thermal expansion coefficient. This thin metal layer also allows integration of a photonic resonance cavity, effectively compensating the potential absorption loss of the thin metal. This strategy allows for easy spatial PA signal patterns and high conversion efficiency, which not only can be implemented for deep tissue PA imaging of implants or tools, but also provides a guideline for designing photoacoustic transmitters and contrast agents.
