AB - Frequency domain photon migration (FDPM) uses modulated laser light to measure the bulk optical properties of turbidmedia and is increasingly being applied for noninvasive functional medical imaging. Though semiconductor edge emittinglaser diodes (EELs) have been traditionally used for this application, we show that VCSELs exhibitperformance characteristics suitable for FDPM measurements of tissue optical properties. Their output power andmodulation characteristics are more than sufficient for optical property recovery. In addition, their small size, highefficiency, low cost, and simple packaging make them an attractive choice as components in clinical FDPM systems.We demonstrate a unique, compact optical probe that was enabled by VCSEL technology.
