Cote, Gerard; Hanks, John; Pirnstill, Casey (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2021-04-27)Embodiments concern coupling polarized light at two or more wavelengths across the aqueous humor of the eye (e.g., as part of a noninvasive glucose monitoring system). An approach discloses non-contact and minimal contact ...
-
Wang, Xueding (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)This research is primarily focused on laser-based non-invasive photoacoustic tomography of small animal brains. Photoacoustic tomography, a novel imaging modality, was applied to visualize the distribution of optical ...
