Frequency domain diffuse optical spectroscopy device and optical detector calibration method

Abstract

A frequency domain diffuse optical spectroscopy (FD-DOS) device and calibration method. The FD-DOS device includes a radio frequency signal generator, a driver, a light source, a silicon photomultiplier, an analog to digital conversion circuit, and an electronic processing circuit. The light source is configured to generate modulated light at a plurality of different wavelengths and modulation frequencies. The silicon photomultiplier is configured to generate analog detection signals indicative of detected optical signals. The analog to digital conversion circuit is configured to generate digital sample values from the analog detection signals. The electronic processing circuit is configured to determine absorption values and scattering values based on the digital sample values. The electronic processing circuit is also configured to determine concentration values based on the absorption values and the scattering values. The electronic processing circuit is further configured to determine an image stream based on the concentration values.
