This article provides a review of candle-soot nanoparticle (CSNP) composite laser ultrasound transmitters (LUTs) and compares and contrasts this technology with other carbon-composite designs. Among many carbon-based composite LUTs, a CSNP composite has demonstrated its advantages of maximum energy conversion and fabrication simplicity for developing highly efficient ultrasound transmitters. We focus on the advantages and challenges of the CSNP-composite transmitter in the areas of nanostructure design, fabrication procedure, and promising applications.
