DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPACT LASER LIGHT SOURCE FOR DOSI

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 紧凑的光源是小型化DOSI仪器设计的关键要素，以节省物理空间，同时保持光谱带宽。 基于Praevium之前设计的宽带紧凑型光源的设计，将构建一个新版本，该版本具有更高的效率，而不会牺牲关键的光谱覆盖范围（700-980 nm）。 所提出的源将具有8个波长，以20 mW/通道工作，耦合到400微米的光纤，并且可以容易地安装在电路板上。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. A compact light source is a key element of the miniaturized DOSI instrument design to conserve physical space yet maintain spectral bandwidth. Based upon designs of a previous broadband compact light source designed by Praevium, a newer version will be constructed that features higher efficiency without sacrificing key spectral coverage (700-980 nm). The proposed source will feature 8 wavelengths, operating at 20 mW/channel, couples to a 400 micron optical fiber, and can easily be mounted upon a circuit board.
