An apparatus or method for measurement of multiple gas concentrations. The apparatus comprises a multi-wavelength laser module, and a multi-layered/multi-band detector.

Compact multi-wavelength TDLAS system

A system and method for determining or estimating the presence and effect of light-attenuating inhomogeneities in tissue when performing medical treatment or diagnostics using optical members in tissue. The system and method comprising inserting a plurality of optical members into the tissue, and then measuring by emitting light through a sub-set of optical members at a time, while measuring the light collected by another sub-set of optical members. Combining said measurement data with a model for light propagation in tissue, and setting up a system of equations. Solving the unknown attenuation values from said system of equations.

System and method for determining light attenuation at optical members inserted in tissue

A system and method for measuring a concentration of a gas in a container having at least one flexible or variable side or wall. The system and method comprising creating a determinable optical path length through the container having a shape. Positioning a light source head and a detector head against at least one of the least one flexible or variable side or wall. Transmitting a light signal between the light source head and the detector head through the determinable optical path length. Determining the concentration of the gas in the container based on detected light and the determinable optical path length.

System and method for determining a concentration of a gas in a container

A method and system is disclosed for determining the integrity of a closed container. The method and system includes the steps of positioning the container in a surrounding, changing a gas pressure, a gas composition, a gas concentration, or any combination of gas pressure, gas concentration and gas composition, in the surrounding. Thereafter subjecting the container to an optical sensor, non-intrusively, the sensor being sensitive to at least one gas, and the sensor is configured for detecting the at least one gas inside the container. Reading a signal from the optical sensor related to a gas pressure, a gas concentration, a gas composition, or any combination of gas pressure, gas concentration, and gas composition, inside the container. The behavior of the signal being indicative of breach in integrity of the container.

System and method for determining the integrity of containers by optical measurement

A method and system for controlling and adjusting light in interstitial photodynamic light therapy (IPDT) in a subject is disclosed. More particularly, a method for controlling the light in interstitial tumor photodynamic light therapy is described using a calculation method for determination of status of tissue during the PDT treatment. The status is used in a feedback loop to control the continued PDT treatment. Methods are disclosed that constitute pre-treatment and realtime dosimetry modules for IPDT on the whole prostate glandular tissue. The method includes reconstruction of the target geometry, optimization of source fiber positions within this geometry, monitoring of the light attenuation during the treatment procedure and updating individual fiber irradiation times to take into account any variation in tissue light transmission. A control device that is arranged to restrict delivery of therapeutic light treatment at least temporary in dependence of at least one attribute of one of photodynamic treatment parameters. In comparison to no treatment feedback, a significant undertreatment of the patient as well as damage to healthy organs at risk are avoided.

System and method for controlling and adjusting interstitial photodynamic light therapy parameters

A system for providing interstitial photodynamic and/or photothermal therapy on a region of tissue in a body, comprising at least one light source adapted to deliver a therapeutic light to the region of tissue, such that the light source is interstitially inserted into the tissue for interaction with a photosensitizer agent and/or for providing a controlled thermal environment of the tissue; and a unit for determining an optimized number of the light sources and individual position of each of the light sources in the region of tissue as well as individual control parameters for each of the light sources.
