Development of a portable device based on polarised fluorescence for detection of cervical pre-cancer
This device consists of a laser diode (405 nm) and white light source (Xe-lamp), to measure the polarised fluorescence and the polarised elastic-scattering spectra, respectively. Vertically polarised light falls on the sample and co- and cross-polarised fluorescence and elastic-scattering spectrum are measured by the automated rotation of the analyzer. The signal is subsequently collected through an optical fiber and directed towards a miniature spectrometer. All data are collected at a 180-degree angle (backscattering mode) with respect to incident-polarised light
