Time-resolved measurement of the scattered light with an interferometric method based on the use of a camera
2007
We have already demonstrated the potentiality of interferometry to perform timeresolved
measurements of the light scattered by a tissue: the fluctuations of the speckle
pattern, linked to a wavelength-modulation of the source, are registered, and the time-resolved
average intensity can be numerically obtained from these data[1]. The competitive results were
obtained with a simple photodiode as detector[2].
Such a method can be cheaper and more accessible for biomedical applications than
direct time-resolved methods, but it is not its unique advantage: this method allows to perform
Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) with selected photon pathlengths[3,4]; for instance, we
have shown that we can improve the spatial resolution in transillumination imaging of a
dynamic heterogeneity through the selection of short photon transit times[4]. Therefore such a
method can offer interesting applications, for example in mammography.
A way to improve the signal to noise ratio of this method can consist in multiplying
the number of detectors. That's the reason why we decide to consider the use of a high speed
camera, that can reach a rate of 1000 frames per second. We will present the first results
obtained with this new system. The performance will be discussed, and compared to our
previous setup.
