Multiple reference optical coherence tomography (MR-OCT) is a technology ideally suited to low-cost, compact OCT imaging. This modality is an extension of time-domain OCT with the addition of a partial mirror in front of the reference mirror. This enables extended, simultaneous depth scanning with the relatively short scan range of a miniature voice coil motor on which the scanning mirror is mounted.

Submitted 29 July 2020; Accepted in final form 30 October 2020. ABSTRACT Background. Recovery or post-exercise rehabilitation is an essential part of exercise training. Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a modality increasing interest for recovery because of having a conservative and non-aggressive method. LLLT also decreases the production of fatigue-related biomechanical markers, such as lactate, C-reactive protein (CRP), and Creatine kinase (CK). Objectives. To investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy on muscle strength and endurance and post-exercise recovery of young adults between 20-35 years old. Methods. Fifty subjects were enrolled in this double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial study. Three days after the familiarization session, the subjects were divided into two groups via block randomization: the first group received pre-exercise laser at 810 nm, 60mW, and 60Hz frequency for 30 seconds on three point’s rectus femoris muscle.

  • Optical Power Transfer and Communication Methods for Wireless Implantable Sensing Platforms
    Optical power transfer and communication methods for wireless implantable sensing platforms Muhammad Mujeeb-U-Rahman Dvin Adalian Chieh-Feng Chang Axel Scherer Downloaded From: http://biomedicaloptics.spiedigitallibrary.org/ on 12/17/2015 Terms of Use: http://spiedigitallibrary.org/ss/TermsOfUse.aspx Journal of Biomedical Optics 20(9), 095012 (September 2015) Optical power transfer and communication methods for wireless implantable sensing platforms Muhammad Mujeeb-U-Rahman,* Dvin Adalian, Chieh-Feng Chang, and Axel Scherer California Institute of Technology, Electrical Engineering, 1200 East California Boulevard, Pasadena, California 91125, United States Abstract. Ultrasmall scale implants have recently attracted focus as valuable tools for monitoring both acute and chronic diseases. Semiconductor optical technologies are the key to miniaturizing these devices to the long- sought sub-mm scale, which will enable long-term use of these devices for medical applications. This can also enable the use of multiple implantable devices concurrently to form a true body area network of sensors. We demonstrate optical power transfer techniques and methods to effectively harness this power for implantable devices. Furthermore, we also present methods for optical data transfer from such implants. Simultaneous use of these technologies can result in miniaturized sensing platforms that can allow for large-scale use of such sys- tems in real world applications. © 2015 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE) [DOI: 10.1117/1.JBO.20.9.095012] Keywords: implant; sensors; wireless; optical; photovoltaics.

BY MARIE FREEBODY, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR i lmost as soon as the first working laser was built in 1960 by Theodore Maiman, reports from users of lasers multiplied regarding the curious effects A that light can elicit on living tissue. In 1962, dermatologic surgeon Leon Goldman reported the successful laser removal of unwanted skin markings, specifically tattoos. Fast forward to today, and similar techniques are used to erase birthmarks and pigmentation as well. In 1967, professor Endre Mester at Semmelweis Medical University in Hungary https://www.biophotonics-digital.com/biophotonics/may_june_2020…GRSvBPUslhBElahMntnuXHXbAkB9SNWPd--2A85HLFzz-g#articleId1587970 Page 2 of 12 Bio Photonics - May/June 2020 - Light Brings a Delicate Touch to Treatment 8/7/20, 12:33 PM In 1967, professor Endre Mester at Semmelweis Medical University in Hungary wondered whether laser beams might cause skin cancer because early radiologists were developing the disease on their hands when exposed to x-rays. Mester performed an experiment on two groups of shaved mice, aiming a low- powered ruby laser at one group and not the other, to see whether the treatment group would develop cancer.

  • Miniaturize Your Optical System Into a Photonic Integrated Circuit Learn How Can You Benefit from This Technology
    January, 2018 White paper v2.1 Miniaturize your optical system into a photonic integrated circuit Learn how can you benefit from this technology Summary Photonic technologies use the light to enable multiple applications nowadays, from optical telecommunications to biomedical diagnostic devices or precise fibre sensors for all kinds of structures. Still, optical components tend to be bulky and expensive, and require precise stabilization and assembly, especially when interfacing with electronics. Embedding some photonic functionalities into an integrated optical chip can simplify a system and dramatically decrease its costs. However, the cutting edge optical manufacturing technologies enabling such chip integration were traditionally affordable only by very few. Nowadays, ge- neric photonic integration emerges as a new paradigm that provides cost-ef- fective and high-performance miniaturization for a wide range of applications and markets. In this white paper we highlight the advantages of using photonic integrated circuits, and we give a brief overview of the new generic and fabless manu- facturing models and how you can benefit from them. www.vlcphotonics.com VLC Photonics whitepaper Miniaturize your optical system into a photonic integrated circuit Foreground This paper is mainly addressed to: • Technology Officers • R&D Managers Fast • Product Development Engineers You will be introduced to the concept of photonic integration, and Read understand how it can improve your optical systems through: • size and weight reduction, • improved stability and robustness, Lane • increased functionality and performance, and • reduced assembly, packaging, test and operation costs “This white paper pre- sents the benefits of merging several opti- cal devices into a sin- gle chip, and the main manufacturing tech- nologies and methods used for that” Fig.

  • Silicon Photonic Biosensors
    Silicon photonic biosensors Invited paper C. Ciminelli, D. Conteduca, F. Dell’Olio, M.N. Armenise Polytechnic University of Bari, Via Edoardo Orabona, 4, 70126 Bari - Italy Tel: +390805963404, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Silicon-based optical biosensors used for biomedical applications are described. In particular, integrated optical devices and their advantages, in terms of high performance and compactness, and also high reliability and long life term, have been reported. Since the last years, these features have been allowing to realize high-efficiency biosensing platforms with on-chip integration of several biosensors for a multi-analyte detection. Many lab-on- chip systems integrated in portable medical instruments have been proposed in literature and already commercialized in the worldwide market, so reaching extraordinary improvements in the early detection and monitoring of several diseases. Therefore, fast and accurate self-tests achievable with silicon photonic biosensors are remarkably opening new possibilities and applications in the healthcare industry. Keywords: Biosensors, Silicon Photonics, Biophotonics 1. INTRODUCTION In the last decades a strong effort has been observed in the healthcare industry to improve the quality of services for patients, in order to reduce the number of deaths and improve the outcomes in a shorter time. This corresponds to a better patients’ life quality and also remarkably reduced costs for Health System. In particular, many advantages have been achieved by adopting electronic patient records and by developing a better organization and management of first aid centres and hospitals to reduce the average hospitalization period for each patient with a continuous monitoring at home after the hospital discharge without requiring expert users.
