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 …

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 …

Temperature of tissues and organs is one of the first parameters affected by physiological
and pathological processes, such as metabolic activity, acute trauma, or infection‐induced …

Three-photon excitation has recently been demonstrated as an effective method to perform
intravital microscopy in deep, previously inaccessible regions of the mouse brain. The …

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 …

Water and lipids are key participants in many biological processes, but there are few non-
invasive methods that provide quantification of these components in vivo, and none that can …

The Grüneisen parameter, a constitutive parameter in photoacoustics, is usually measured
from isobaric thermal expansion, which may not be valid for a biological medium due to its …

With an optical fiber probe, we acquired spectra from swine tissue between 500 and 1600
nm by combining a silicon and an InGaAs spectrometer. The concentrations of the biological …

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 …

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with deep penetration can characterize the composition of
biological tissue based on the vibration of the XH group in a rapid and high-specificity way …
