Optimizing Fiber Optics Probe to Improve Non-inasive Biomarker Detection
- Characterized optical properties of different musculoskeletal tissues
- Developed custom-made 3D printed sample holders compatible with integrating sphere setup
- Simulated different fiber optics probe configurations to optimize probe design to improve signal detection from bone
- Fabricated fiber optics probe based on the simulations, and validated the simulation result ex-vivo
- Identified wavelengths to calculate absorption ratios to validate the improvement in signal detection from underlying layer
