Healthcare monitoring systems using mid-infrared and deep ultraviolet spectroscopy
Yuji Matsuura
Abstract:Spectroscopy using mid-infrared light with a wavelength of 6 to 12 microns enables high-precision analysis of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates that constitute living organisms. Recently, mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers and semiconductor detectors operating at room temperature have emerged in this field, increasing the feasibility of compact and inexpensive healthcare devices. In the deep ultraviolet region below 300 nm wavelength, various volatile gases show particularly strong absorption, and new appli… Show more
