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 …

  This Scanning Electron Microscope image shows a multicore optical fibre probe consisting of 19 individual cores which guide light, comparable to the multiple electrical wires within a cable. The fibre cores have been etched to produce concave pits, and multiple types of silica (glass) microsphere sensors embedded. This produces a miniaturised sensor with the …
