An imaging system for brain oxygenation based on a time-gated, intensified charge-coupled device camera was developed. It allows one to image diffusely reflected light from an investigated medium at defined time windows delayed with respect to the laser pulse. Applying a fast optomechanical switch to deliver the light at a wavelength of 780 nm to nine source fibers allowed one to acquire images in times as short as 4 s. Thus, the system can be applied in in vivo studies. The system was validated in phantom experiments, in which absorbing inclusions were localized at different depths and different lateral positions. Then, the decrease in absorption of the brain tissue related to increase in oxygenation was visualized in the motor cortex area during finger tapping by a healthy volunteer.

Fluorescence imaging has been widely used in fields like (pre)clinical imaging and other domains. With advancements in imaging technology and new fluorescent labels, fluorescence lifetime imaging is gradually gaining recognition. Our research department is developing the CAM, based on the Current-Assisted Photonic Sampler, to achieve real-time fluorescence lifetime imaging in the NIR (700-900 nm) region.

Neuromodulation comes into focus as a non-pharmacological therapy with the vagus nerve as modulation target. The auricular vagus nerve stimulation (aVNS) has emerged to treat chronic diseases while re-establishing the sympathovagal balance and activating parasympathetic anti-inflammatory pathways. aVNS leads still to over and under-stimulation and is limited in therapeutic efficiency.

The significance of HO as a marker of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress in living organisms has spurred growing interest in its roles in inflammation and disease progression. In this report, a ratiometric time-gated luminescence (RTGL) probe is proposed based on mixed lanthanide complexes, ER-BATTA-Tb/Eu, for imaging the HO generation both in vitro and in vivo. Upon exposure to HO, the probe undergoes cleavage of the benzyl boric acid group, releasing hydroxyl (─OH) groups, which significantly reduces the emission of the Eu complex while slightly increasing the emission of the Tb complex.

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems based on indirect time-of-flight (iToF) sensors have garnered considerable interest due to their all-solid-state design, high resolution, high reliability, and cost-effective nature. However, the challenge of extending the operational range of iToF LiDAR systems without compromising the range precision is a significant barrier to their broader application. This paper introduces what we believe to be a novel method to overcome these hurdles, which involves pre-setting the delay between the light pulse emission and the sensor's transfer gates to extend the operational range and utilizing spatial overlap fusion techniques to enhance the range precision.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major hepatic dysfunction commonly caused by hepatotoxic drug overdose, resulting in a considerable number of fatalities worldwide. Recent studies have highlighted the regulatory and hepatoprotective effects of carbon monoxide (CO) during the liver injury process. However, precisely tracking the dynamic changes in the composition of CO in DILI is still a great challenge.
