Single-Photon Synchronous Detection

Edoardo Charbon, Cristiano Niclass, Claudio Favi, Ties Jan Henderikus Kluter, Frédéric Monnier

A novel imaging technique is proposed for fully digital detection of phase and intensity of light. A fully integrated camera implementing the new technique was fabricated in a 0.35μm CMOS technology. When coupled to a modulated light source, the camera can ...

A hybrid ultrasonic motor and electrorheological fluid clutch actuator for force-feedback in MRI/fMRI

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Dominique Chapuis

This paper presents a safe, electrically powered MR-compatible actuator with a large range of output impedance, which can be used at the entry of the scanner bore. This actuator is composed of an ultrasonic motor (USM) and a torque-controlled electrorheolo ...

Inkjet Printing of SU-8; A Case Study for Microlenses

Jürgen Brugger, Edoardo Charbon, Alcherio Martinoli, Vahid Fakhfouri, Grégory Mermoud, Joo Yeon Kim, Dmitri Boiko, Nicolas Jacques Joseph Marie Cantale

This paper describes a novel method to fabricate polymer MEMS based on the inkjet printing of SU-8, with a special emphasis on integrated micro-optical lens arrays. Inkjet control parameters are optimized in order to enable a stable and reproducible ejecti ...

Improvement of the Contrast in Cancer Detection by Autofluorescence Bronchoscopy using a narrow spectral violet Excitation: A preliminary study

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Tanja Gabrecht, Blaise Lovisa

Autofluorescence (AF) bronchoscopy is a useful tool for early cancer detection. However, the mechanisms involved in this diagnosis procedure are poorly understood. We present a clinical autofluorescence imaging study to assess the depth of the principal co ...

Blue-violet excited autofluorescence spectroscopy and imaging of normal and cancerous human bronchial tissue after formalin fixation

Georges Wagnières, Tanja Gabrecht

Autofluorescence (AF) imaging is a powerful tool for the detection of (pre-)neoplastic lesions in the bronchi. Several endoscopic imaging systems exploit the spectral and intensity contrast of AF between healthy and (pre-)neoplastic bronchial tissues, yet, ...

A Haptic Knob with a Hybrid Ultrasonic Motor and Powder Clutch Actuator

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Dominique Chapuis

In haptics, the forces to be displayed vary widely in terms of magnitude and bandwidth. A single actuator can hardly comply with these requirements. It has thus been proposed to combine electrical motors and passive devices in a hybrid actuator to cover a ...

Clinical fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging for the detection of early carcinoma by autofluorescence bronchoscopy and the study of the protoporphyrin IX pharmacokinetics in the endometrium

Tanja Gabrecht

The aim of this thesis is to optimise and gain fundamental information on two applications of photomedicine using fluorescence imaging and spectrofluorometry: (1) the detection of early bronchial cancer by autofluorescence imaging and (2) the endometrial a ...
