Bi-Yb Phospho-Tellurite fibre laser for cancer detection (BYPT-laser)
Lead Participant:
GLASS TECHNOLOGY SERVICES LTD
Abstract
This project will develop and demonstrate a low cost tuneable fibre-laser Phospho-Tellurite fibre laser (BTPT-
laser) operating across the 1000-1500nm bandwidth which will give endoscopic surgeons to unambiguously
detect the precancerous and cancerous tissue by producing images and chemical maps differentiating between
cancerous and the healthy tissue, but also determine the shape and size of the cancer/precancerous region for
resection. At present this capability is not available anywhere in the world.ublic Project Summary
