Growing demands for affordable, portable, and reliable optical microendoscopic imaging
devices are attracting research institutes and industries to find new manufacturing methods …

We report development of a low-cost smartphone confocal microscope and its first
demonstration of in vivo human skin imaging. The smartphone confocal microscope uses a …

A novel endoscope, which can be a spectrally encoded endoscope (SEE) probe having
forward-view, side-view, or a combination of forward and side views is provided herein. The …

Early detection of ovarian cancer is only achieved in around 20% of women due to lack of
effective screening. We propose a method for surveillance of high risk women based on a …

This Letter describes a low-cost, scalable nanomanufacturing process that enables the
continuous forming of thin metallic layers with nanoscale accuracy using roll-to-roll, laser …

Cochlear implantation offers the potential to restore sensitive hearing in patients with severe
to profound deafness. However, surgical placement of the electrode array within the cochlea …

Over the last decade, optical fiber-based forms of microscopy and endoscopy have
extended the realm of applicability for many imaging modalities. Optical fiber-based imaging …

The trade-off between spot size and depth of focus (DOF) often limits the performance of
optical systems, such as optical coherence tomography and optical tweezers. Although …

We developed a spectrally-encoded, line reflectance confocal microscope (RCM) that uses
a rotating diffuser to rapidly modulate the illumination speckle pattern. The speckle …

We demonstrate a method to add photonic functionalities to the tip of hollow photonic crystal
fibers, for ultracompact and integrated lab-on-fiber applications. Specifically we present an …
