Glaucoma – Advanced, LAbel-free High resolution Automated OCT Diagnostics (GALAHAD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2019,

The project GALAHAD targets the critical need for better glaucoma diagnostic systems. Glaucoma is an age-related major cause of blindness. The eye disease is characterized by an irreversible damage to the optic nerve head caused by increased intra-ocular pressure. The current screening and basic diagnostics for the disease involve intra-ocular pressure measurement, visual field tests and detection ...

Understanding and measuring SUb-23 nm particle emissions from direct injection engines including REAL driving conditions (SUREAL-23)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

A large proportion of the total number of particles emitted from direct injection engines are below 23 nm and although the EU aims to regulate those emissions and impose limits for new light duty vehicles, this is not yet possible due to the absence of accurate quantification methods, especially under real driving conditions. The main reason for this is the absence of adequate knowledge regarding ...

Infrared sensing made visible: Combining infrared light sources and upconversion sensors for improved sensitivity in medical applications and gas analysis (Mid-TECH)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

The mid-infrared (mid-IR) wavelength range is an emerging and important new topic for frontier research. Its general importance relates to a multitude of mid-IR industrial and biomedical sensor applications. Chemical finger prints of most complex molecules such as those found in food, tissue or catalytic compounds all have vibrational spectra in the mid-IR, thus identifiable through mid-IR spectro ...

MId- to NEaR infrared spectroscopy for improVed medical diAgnostics (MINERVA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

In recent years it has become clear that mid-IR imaging spectroscopy has the potential to open a new chapter in bio-medical imaging and offers an effective tool for early cancer diagnosis and improved survival rates. Rather than a search for "cancer marker" absorption peaks, great progress has been made by analysing the entire bio-molecular mid-IR spectral signature using automated algorithms. How ...

Innovative Mid-infrared high Power source for resonant ablation of Organic based photovoltaic devices (IMPROV)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

High power and in particular tunable mid-infrared short pulse laser systems operating in the wavelength range between 3 µm and 11 µm have a large potential in different applications, e.g. analytics, medicine and micromaching. Up to now, those systems are only be realised by multistage set-ups consisting of bulk four or five different units, a configuration which is of course very complex, expensiv ...
