Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The arrival of the photodetector to the library of components available in a CMOS VLSI library has provided a plethora of opportunities for the Optical Processing Engineer. The aim of this proposal is to design, fabricate and test a CMOS VLSI optical processor for a modulated optical scanner of the human body. By modulating the incident light with ultrasound focused at different depths in the skin permits the optical processor to lock into the desired signal thus removing the unmodulated scattered light. This technique has the potential to enable functional monitoring of biological tissues and the clinical assessment of tumours.
