Mini-FDPM Project
I have been working on the Mini-FDPM project for my Ph.D. research. FDPM, for Frequency Domain Photon Migration spectroscopy, is a technique for content detection. By broadband (10MHz-1GHz) modulation of near-infrared laser light (600-1000nm) and measuring the phase and amplitude of the backscattered light, it is possible to accurately derive the scattering and absorption coefficient of bulk tissue and other materials. This has application to breast cancer detection, internal body temperature measurement, blood flow, and many others.
The goal is to miniaturize the current Laser Breast Scanner (LBS) from a refrigerator-sized instrument down to a handheld device. I have built a homodyne version in 2003--2004 and improved it with a heterodyne version in 2005--2006. I am doing a new version that will further reduce the noise in certain frequency bands while accelerating the detection speed.
