We describe man-portable and aerial near-IR laser sensor platforms which spatially scan a laser beam to create quantitative plume images. These tools locate, visualize, and deduce natural gas (methane) emission rates at small infrastructure sources.

Proof of Concept study has demonstrated that the combined OCT/AF imaging approach can detect morphological and biochemical changes related to inner ear SNHL.
OCT/AF technology could be used to diagnose potential causes of SNHL and evaluate the success of the hair cell regeneration therapy approaches.

Enhanced contrast fluorescence imaging was very useful in highlighting suspicious cancer presence - reduces the amount of time needed for analyzing the specimen with higher resolution microscopy, which can be applied only on the highlighted areas

Optical coherence tomography enables high-resolution, nondestructive imaging up to 1 mm in depth.
• Full 3D reconstructions allow for visualization of the full extent of tumor
• Estimation of tumor content allows for spatial exclusion in important personalized cancer treatment assays.
– Also useful for relevant 3D drug development assays

Successful development of a singlet oxygen spectrometer applicable for PDT treatment using a cw laser
Preliminary demonstration during in vivo animal experiments
Continued animal study is ongoing.
Next step will be to reduce the system cost and potentially include time gated measurement capability.
