The Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) is a new optical device of choice for high speed optical data networks. We propose that this communications technology can be used as a platform to develop a completely new family of sensors ideally suited to medical monitoring. Specifically, we will develop VCSEL based technology for measurement of heart activity and sensing of blood flow in skin and tissues. This will provide novel sensors for heart monitoring and imaging, and management of skin disorders (burns and cancer).

垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSEL)是一种用于高速光数据网络的新型光器件。我们建议，这种通信技术可以作为一个平台，开发一种全新的传感器系列，非常适合于医疗监测。具体地说，我们将开发基于VCSEL的技术，用于测量心脏活动和感知皮肤和组织的血液流动。这将为心脏监测和成像以及皮肤病(烧伤和癌症)的管理提供新型传感器。
