Development of optoelectronic polarisation and plasmonic devices for bioimaging

光电成像系统提供了高灵敏度快速筛查癌症的潜力。该项目将开发等离子体结构成像和提供可调偏振的光源，用于识别生物分子，特别是与癌症相关的生物分子，具有高灵敏度。半导体激光光源可以在任何期望的偏振状态下发光，并且可以从任何状态连续调谐到另一个状态。等离子体结构将被设计和制造来增强分子的光学散射。一个系统，以获取一系列的偏振依赖图像将使用组成部分组装。

Optoelectronic imaging systems offer the potential of rapid screening for cancer with high sensitivity. The project will develop plasmonic structures imaged and optical sources delivering tunable polarisation for identifying biomolecules, particularly those associated with cancer, with high sensitivity. Semiconductor laser sources that can emit light in any desired polarisation state and can be tuned continuously from any state to another will be developed. Plasmonic structures will be designed and fabricated to enhance optical scattering from molecules. A system to acquire a series of polarisation dependent images will be assembled using the component parts.
