DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPACT LASER LIGHT SOURCE FOR DOSI

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 紧凑的光源是小型化DOSI仪器设计的关键元素，以节省物理空间并保持光谱带宽。基于Praevium以前设计的宽带紧凑型光源的设计，将构建新版本，在不牺牲关键光谱覆盖(700-980 nm)的情况下具有更高的效率。建议的光源将具有8个波长，工作在20 mW/通道，耦合到400微米的光纤，可以很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.
