  • Patent number: 7030970
    Abstract: An optical apparatus for measuring the velocity of flowing biomaterials is disclosed, which has a coherent light source for projecting a light beam with low coherent length; a reference member having mirrors for periodically reflecting lights thereon; a photo detector for receiving photo signals; a splitter for splitting said light beam from said coherent light source into a reference beam and a detecting beam. The disclosed optical apparatus can save the time for complicate computation and the cost of software or hardware for measuring the flowing velocity of biomaterials, especially the flowing velocity of flowing bloods in vessels.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050272027
    Abstract: Real-time clinical diagnostic expert systems for fluorescent spectrum analysis of tissue cells and methods thereof. An exemplary system includes a set of optical fibers, wherein the first optical fiber introduces an incident light to an subject epidermal tissue, and the second optical fiber receives an auto-fluorescent signal, a set of monochromators, wherein the first monochromator produces the incident light, and the second monochromator produces the auto-fluorescent signal from the second optical fiber, a light detector for detecting the auto-fluorescent signal from the second monochromator, a signal processing unit for plotting a spectrum of the auto-fluorescent signal, and a spectrum analyzing unit comprising a database for analyzing the spectrum with the database to obtain a probability of disease for the subject epidermal tissue.

  • Publication number: 20040115336
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a grating-based optical biosensor. The probes of the grating-based optical biosensor are applied in a probe solution as probes. The probe solution is provided on a substrate, and the substrate is exposed to a light pattern having a light area and a dark area, so that the probes of the probe solution are gathered in the light area of the light pattern. Finally, the probes are fixed on the substrate to form the biosensor.
