研究目的
To develop an on-chip optical microsystem for spectrophotometric measurement of diffuse reflectance and fluorescence signals for the detection of gastrointestinal dysplasia.
研究成果
The on-chip experimental diffuse reflectance and fluorescence measurements, performed with an apparatus containing high selective optical filters and a CMOS optical microsystem with photodiodes and LF converters for readout, proved the viability of extracting diffuse reflectance and fluorescence signals with small differences when compared to those obtained with commercial equipment. The microsystem is ready to be used as a portable system on a surgery room.
研究不足
The optical setup implemented for spectroscopic measurements showed a lack of sensitivity, which can be avoided with the reduction of the distance between optical elements, i.e., introducing LEDs for illumination and integrating all the optical filters on the photodetection system.
