Welcome

The near-infrared diffusive light imaging system for breaast cancer research is a project developed by Dr. Quing Zhu and fellow graduate students at the University of Connecticut department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. Undergraduate students Radu Matei, Laura Mariano, and Andrew Dodson have been assigned to undertake this project as their senior design endeavor.

As of December 7, 2007, this project has been completed successfully. You may view the engineering report and the PowerPoint presentation.

As a senior design project, the students have been assigned the task of developing a laser source and detection portion for a single channel system. The system must be low-noise, immune to electromagnetic interference, and must not radiate due to its potential hospital use. This website will track the needs and progress of this senior design project. Therefore, information such as optical theory of biological tissue and optical signal generation will not be discussed on this web site.
