Time-Domain Diffuse Optics
Introduction
Time-Domain Diffuse Optics is branch of Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy which deals with light propagation in diffusive media. There are three main approaches to diffuse optics namely Continuous wave Frequency Domain and Time-Domain. In Time-domain approach, a narrow pulse of light is injected into the medium and the photon arrival times is recorded.
Physical Concepts
Instrumentation
Instrumentation in Time-Domain Diffuse optics includes a pulsed laser source, a single photon detector and a timing electronics
Sources
Sources in TD-DOS must have the following characteristics
Pulsed Laser pulsed laser in the wavelength range of the optical window i.e. 650 to 1350 nanometre are used as sources. They can either be a single wavelength diode laser or a super continuum laser.
Detectors
Timing Electronics
Applications
Functional Brain Imaging
Mammography
