Continuous-wave infrared optical nerve stimulation for potential diagnostic applications.
Optical nerve stimulation using infrared laser radiation has recently been developed as a potential alternative to electrical nerve stimulation. However, recent studies have focused primarily on pulsed delivery of the laser radiation and at relatively low pulse rates. The objective of this study is to demonstrate faster optical stimulation of the prostate cavernous nerves using continuous-wave ...
متن کاملTwo-photon fluorescence excitation in continuous-wave infrared optical tweezers.
We report the observation of two-photon f luorescence excitation in a continuous-wave (cw) single-beam gradient force optical trap and demonstrate its use as an in situ probe to study the physiological state of an optically confined sample. In particular, a cw Nd:YAG (1064-nm) laser is used simultaneously to conf ine, and excite visible f luorescence from submicrometer regions of, cell specimen...
متن کاملContinuous-wave Optical Parametric Oscillators
Since the publication of an earlier review on optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) in 2000,1 there has been remarkable progress in the technological development and applications of OPO devices. Once considered an impractical approach for the generation of coherent radiation, OPOs have now been finally transformed into truly viable, state-of-the-art light sources capable of accessing difficult ...
متن کاملUpconversion based continuous-wave mid-infrared detection
We present theoretical and experimental work on upconversion based mid-wavelength infrared detection using silicon detectors without the need for cryogenic cooling. We consider both multi-spectral imaging and point spectroscopy targeting several specific applications. OCIS codes: (190.7220) Upconversion; (300.6340) Spectroscopy, infrared; (100.2960) Image analysis;
