Spatial Localization of Biosensor Fluorescence Signals in Human Skin under the Effect of Eequalization of the Refractive Index of the Surrounding Medium

A priority line of biomedical applications of optics is the development of noninvasive diagnostic methods based on the scanning of fluorescence radiation of biosensors embedded in biological tissue. Their main advantage is a high sensitivity and selectivity with respect to given parameters of tissues and their variations. In this study, we present a method for and results of modeling of excitation and propagation of fluorescence radiation in a multilayer randomly inhomogeneous highly scattering and absorbing medium imitating human skin. The model takes into account the spatially inhomogeneous distribution of skin fluorophores and their photophysical characteristics. Both the spatial distribution of fluorescence of skin tissues and the possibility of localization of a detected fluorescence signal are studied. The spatial distribution of fluorescence centers (fluorophores) in the medium is assumed to closely follow the spatial distribution of collagen fibers of the skin. The equalization of the refractive indices at the air-skin interface is shown to lead to a higher degree of localization of the fluorescence signal detected from a biosensor located in a near-surface skin layer.     

Static sensitivity calculation of a novel fiber optic biosensor

A novel structure of fiber optic biosensor and its principle are introduced. The sample is detected in microchannels of several microns diameter in fiber optic biosensors. The relation between the optic fiber tapered angle and the fluorescence incident angle is calculated in signal receiving part. As the sensor is a zero-order system, calculating formula of the static sensitivity is derived. When ZnSe nano-crystalline cluster is used for marking the molecules, the static sensitivity for fiber optic biosensors is calculated. At the same time, the relation between the static sensitivity and the ratio of exciting wavelength to fluorescence wavelength is presented.     

Real-Time Detection of Polymerase Activity Using Supercritical Angle Fluorescence

We investigated the incorporation efficiencies of different fluorescently labelled dNTPs with polymerases by complementary strand synthesis. For this reason single stranded DNA was immobilized on a coverslip and the increase of fluorescence due to the synthesis of the corresponding strand with tagged dNTPs was detected with a supercritical angle fluorescence biosensor in real-time. By comparison of the observed signal intensities it was possible to conclude that the system Cy5-dCTP-Klenow (exonuclease free) fragment gives the best incorporation yield of the investigated enzymes and dNTPs.     

A laser-induced fluorescence biosensor by using ellipsoidal reflector

A new and compact fluorescence biosensor is constructed. The distinguished feature of this setup is the use of an ellipsoidal reflector as an optical collector of the fluorescence light. A traditional collecting lens with numerical aperture of 0.5 can only collect a few percent of the available signal, while the incorporation of the ellipsoidal reflector enables the apparatus to provide a signal increase of at least 66 times. A very good linear relationship between the concentration of fluorescent dye and the fluorescence intensity is achieved with correlation coefficient R=0.99979. The 3σ detection limit is 5 nM for microliter volume sample. Meanwhile, it is found that laser light scattering by dirts and scratches on the sample cell's windows and by turbidity in the sample solutions is the dominant limitation to increase the detection sensitivity. Approach to solve this problem is suggested.

Investigation of the photon statistics of parametric fluorescence in a traveling-wave parametric amplifier by means of self-homodyne tomography

Photon-number distributions for parametric fluorescence from a nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier are measured with a novel self-homodyne technique. These distributions exhibit the thermal-state character predicted by theory. However, a difference between the fluorescence gain and the signal gain of the parametric amplifier is observed. We attribute this difference to a change in the signal-beam profile during the traveling-wave pulsed amplification process.
