The aim of this research is to develop and build a low cost portable integrated frequency-domain and continuous wave (CW) system for real-time spectroscopic imaging of human tissue. This system measures four tissue chromophore concentrations (water, lipid, deoxygenated, and oxyg…

The original work presented in this thesis describes research into Si-based luminescent materials, prepared specifically by ion implantation and rapid thermal processing of thermal oxide films. An in-depth optical characterisation, employing photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spec…
