Using QCLs for MIR-Based Spectral Imaging — Applications in Tissue Pathology
A quantum cascade laser (QCL) microscope allows for fast data acquisition, real-time chemical imaging and the ability to collect only spectral frequencies of interest. Due to their high-quality, highly tunable illumination characteristics and excellent signal-to-noise performance, QCLs are paving the way for the next generation of mid-infrared imaging methodologies.

Ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT) enables micron-scale, cross-sectional and 3D-imaging capabilities. Supercontinuum sources offer the necessary optical bandwidths, spatial coherence and optical power densities — all of which are key UHR-OCT parameters. Within the biomedical world, such imaging techniques are relevant for robust tissue analysis.

Sterilization Effects on Optical Fibers for Clinical Use
Optical fibers have a broad range of uses in medical and clinical applications and can be adapted for many invasive and noninvasive procedures. However, any optical fiber to be used inside a human body first must be sterilized. This article reports on a study that examined the effects of six common sterilization methods on optical fibers with different coatings.
