1. A computer implemented method for obtaining optoacoustic images with an optoacoustic probe having a laser assembly comprising:
receiving from a trigger assembly a first signal generated from actuating a trigger device to provide a first light from the laser assembly;
receiving from a sensor a second signal generated from the first light having a first pulse width emitting in response to the first signal;
obtaining a first time delay interval from when the trigger device is actuated to when the sensor detects the first light; and
actuating the laser assembly to emit a second light having a second pulse width based on the time delay interval obtained.
