[Homer-users] Optical Fibres suggestions

[Xiaofeng "Steve" Zhang]

Hi Chris,

Depending on specific applications, people use 65- to 400-micron fibers. I'd
say 400-micron multimode fiber is probably the best to start off with for
"regular" NIRS. You also need to make sure that the spectrum width of the
fiber covers your wavelength, i.e. "NIR fiber". Here is a paper that details
what we've been using:

X.Zhang,Y.Toronov,and A.Webb, Integrated measurement system for simultaneous
functional magnetic resonance imaging and diffuse optical tomography in
human brain mapping, Rev. Sci. Instrum., vol. 77, 114301 (2006)

Hope it helps,
Steve

Hi All,

I have a relevant NIRS query but not directly related to HomER.

Can anybody suggest to me the optical fibres used for NIRS including company
name and contact details and any other information you have on them
(price/specifications)? Any information would be greatly appreciated.



Many thanks,
Chris
