UV/VIS Fluorescence and Reflectance Measurements using Delta-Doped Silicon Arrays for Medical and Bio Applications

Imaging in the ultraviolet (UV), visible, and near infrared (NIR) provided a wealth of information that enabled significant progress in astrophysics, planetary studies, heliophysics, commercial applications and medical diagnostics. Although several components make up the imaging system, the detector performance contributes significantly to the overall system performance metrics. JPL-developed sensor technology originally developed for space science applications, uses 2D-doping and custom coatings offer high performance across the UV, visible, and NIR region of the spectrum. Using JPL high efficiency imaging arrays, faint fluorescence signatures could be detected with small amount of stimulation, while avoiding damage to the specimen under inspection. An emergent diagnostic tool coupled with JPL high efficiency imaging arrays to detect endogenous and induced fluorescence signatures in medical and bio applications could bring the added advantage of precise faint signature detection and quantification. We present results of phantom samples calibration images for medical and bio applications.
