Highly parallel Monte-Carlo simulations of the acousto-optic effect in heterogeneous turbid media

To model acousto-optics in heterogeneous optically turbid media, we have developed a GPU based computational Monte Carlo model which is up to 50 times faster than the CPU implementation. An arbitrary acoustic source can also be incorporated into the model. We have also developed a method to compute spatial sensitivity maps for acousto-optics using the adjoint method and validated the computational results with our recently published experimental results. Our Monte Carlo code is the fastest and most flexible code on acousto-optics to date. It is a useful tool for the design of acousto-optic imaging and/or sensing systems.
