Abstract: A diffuse optical tomography system incorporating a mode-locked, tunable laser produces pulsed light that may be used to interrogate tissue with high spatial and spectral resolution. The detection signal may be heterodyne shifted to lower frequencies to allow easy and accurate measurement of phase and amplitude. Embodiments incorporating wavelength-swept, tunable, lasers and embodiments using broadband photonic fiber lasers with spectrally-sensitive detectors are described.
