We present a review of short-wave infrared (SWIR, defined here as∼ 1000 to 2000 nm)
spectroscopy and imaging techniques for biological tissue optical property characterization …

Nowadays, dynamically develo** optical (photonic) technologies play an ever-increasing
role in medicine. Their adequate and effective implementation in diagnostics, surgery, and …

Conspectus Infrared photodetectors are essential to many applications, including

Diffuse optical imaging and spectroscopy of the female breast is an area of active research.
We review the present status of this field and discuss the broad range of methodologies and …

Measurement of photon penetration in biological tissues is a central theme in optical
imaging. A great number of endogenous tissue factors such as absorption, scattering, and …

We report on the use of diffuse optical spectroscopy analysis of breast spectra acquired in
the wavelength range from 500 to 1600 nm with a fiber optic probe. A total of 102 ex vivo …

This work examines an additive approach that increases dielectric screening to overcome
performance challenges in organic shortwave infrared (SWIR) photodiodes. The role of the …

There are three short wavelength infrared (SWIR) optical windows outside the
conventionally used first near-infrared (NIR) window (650 to 950 nm). They occur in the …

Background Breast cancer surgeons struggle with differentiating healthy tissue from cancer
at the resection margin during surgery. We report on the feasibility of using diffuse …

Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy is a rapidly growing technology in the biophotonics
community where it has shown promise in its ability to classify different tissues. In the steady …
