Photons, fibres, medical applications, science (a personal website for my work and work from the lab)
We had a strong presence at Photics Europe this year with a trio of talks. Nice to network within the EU. Multispectral fibre endoscope imaging system for enhanced visualisation of smartprobes (Conference Presentation) Helen Parker; James M. Stone; Tom Speight; Robert R. Thomson; Kevin Dhaliwal; Nikola Krstajić; Michael G. Tanner https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2307563 Time-resolved single photon …
Helen Parker won both the gold for the physics category, and was the overall winner of the whole STEM for Britain competition at Westminster. Nice! Now we just need to write the paper..... http://www.setforbritain.org.uk/2018winnersphotos.asp http://www.setforbritain.org.uk/2018psr/HParker%20-%20STEMforBritain.pdf
Time resolved spectroscopy for enhancing single optic fibre miniaturised probes. Nice work form Katjana. https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.25.030976
The headine isn't exactly as I would describe it, but wide press attention for the medical device locating camera. Nice to get the coverage: Nice piece on the BBC website (and many others). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-41140654 Few radio interviews (Radio4, World Service). BBC TV. Physics world gives a fuller solid article. https://physicsworld.com/a/single-photons-pinpoint-objects-inside-living-tissue/ and more below. Now back …

Our new way to locate medical devices deep inside tissue just published in BOE. We're very excited about this. https://www.osapublishing.org/boe/abstract.cfm?uri=boe-8-9-4077
Investigating the limiting factors in endoscopic imaging with coherent fibre bundles. Important work, thoroughly done. Nice work Helen and Antonios. https://www.osapublishing.org/oe/abstract.cfm?uri=oe-25-10-11932
Adi and I are very happy to get this out there, we think it's pretty neat..... https://www.osapublishing.org/boe/abstract.cfm?uri=boe-8-1-243
Light from a fibre Fibre Interference Intereference pattern of blue laser light from multiple cores of a bespoke optical fibre. Each core has been acid etched, forming a concave pit. Each concave pit acts somewhat like a lens. The far end of the fibre is illuminated with a laser source over multiple cores. The …
