About University of Sheffield

The University of Sheffield in England is one of the UK's leading universities.   We have nearly 24,000 students from 124 countries, and almost 6000 staff.  Engineering Materials Department at The University of Sheffield, England has interest is in the development and application of novel biophotonic tools to aid the characterisation of biological tissues. Photonics offers many unique advantages over other imaging techniques for studying biological systems, including structural and functional contrast, cellular level resolution, speed, non-destructiveness and cost.

  3. Novel optical imaging technique to determine the 3-D orientation of collagen fibers in cartilage: variable-incidence angle polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography

    ScienceDirect (Jul 17 2008) Explore Article

    Objective To investigate a novel optical method to determine the three dimensional (3-D) structure of articular cartilage collagen non-destructively. Methods Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography was used to determine the apparent optical birefringence of articular cartilage for a number of different illumination directions. A quantitative method based on the theory of light propagation in uniaxial crystalline materials was validated on equine flexor tendon. Qualitative maps of fiber polar and azimuthal orientation ...

    Optics Letters (Jun 24 2008) Explore Article

    he first demonstration, to our knowledge, of the creation of ultrabroadband superluminescent light-emitting diodes using multiple quantum-dot layer structure by rapid thermal-annealing process is reported. The device exhibits a 3 dB emission bandwidth of 146 nm centered at 984 nm with cw output power as high as 15 mW at room temperature corresponding to an extremely small coherence length of 6.6 μm (Read Full Article)
