13. Using Raman Spectroscopy To Detect Malignant Changes In Tissues 5/25/2012

    Accurate, rapid, and non-invasive detection and diagnosis of malignant disease in tissues is an important goal of biomedical research. Optical methods, such as diffuse reflectance, fluorescence spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, have all been investigated as ways to attain this goal. Diffuse reflectance utilizes the absorption and scattering properties of tissues, particularly from cell nuclei and stroma.

15. The Evaluation Of Increase And Distribution Of Temperature During The Dental Drilling Using A Thermal Imaging Camera 2/17/2012

    This paper discusses the use of infrared technology to study the optimal method for post space preparation of teeth including how long to drill, the type and size of dental drill used, and the type of cooling used.

16. Technical Note: Nanoparticle Generation With Femtosecond Pulsed Laser Deposition 9/16/2008
    Deposition technology is used in the semiconductor and flat panel display industries, along with being used for MEMS, nanotechnology, and optics. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with ultrashort pulses has been demonstrated using various ultrafast lasers. In this note, generation and deposition of uniform nanoparticles via femtosecond laser ablation will be described. By IMRA America, Inc.
17. Application Note: Nonlinear Microscopy 9/16/2008
    Ultrafast lasers have revolutionized the field of microscopy by enabling new types of nonlinear microscopy techniques. Femtosecond pulse lasers provide the combination of high peak power (1-100 kW) and low average power (10-1000mW) which is ideal for utilizing nonlinear optical processes in scanning laser microscopy (LSM). Here, we describe the two main varieties of nonlinear microscopy: two-photon microscopy, and third-harmonic generation (THG) microscopy. And we show images using these techniques with various types of modelocked fiber lasers. By IMRA America, Inc.
18. OCT for Non-Destructive Testing 12/18/2012

    Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging method that scans light across a sample/object, and then processes and transforms the reflected light to create a depth profile of up to several mm. Tornado Spectral Systems has developed a nanophotonic spectrometer for use in this application space. To find out more about optical coherence tomography and how Tornado Spectral can help you unlock the potential of OCT for non-destructive testing applications, download the application note.

19. Optical Coherence Tomography 9/26/2022

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive, high-resolution optical imaging technology that creates cross-sectional images from interference signals received from an object under investigation and a local reference.
