  2. e (cm-1 M-1) l1 l2 HHb O2Hb wavelength (nm) Principles of functional NIRS (fNIRS)

  3. Lambert-Beer law Light attenuation in a clear medium L ma = e C I(0) I(L) z dz I = light intensity [W cm-2] ma = absorption coefficient [cm-1] L = source-detector distance = pathlength [cm]

  4. turbid medium clear medium Light Propagation in Diffusive Media • Light scattering is greater than absorption •  Photons pathlength is not the geometrical source-detector distance •  Attenuation is dependent also on scattering

  5. Modified Lambert-Beer Law B = Differential Pathlength Factor (DPF) [-] G = Signal loss due to scattering [-] L = source-detector distance [cm] L* = L B = effective pathlength [cm] Main problem:B (DPF) and G depend on wavelength, geometry, subject, ... Partial solution:  Monitor changes, not absolute values

  11. System characterization:- detection section 4 anode PMT + high sensitivity: SS20 0.6%, SS25 6.0% @820 nm + large area (9x9 mm2 each quadrant) — temporal resolution (TTS 300 ps) 18 mm Fiber bundle + large NA (0.5) + home-made, low cost — seven 1-mm plastic fibers: not so flexible! — modal dispersion limits length to 1.5 m 3 mm  4 fiber bundles in each quadrant  total number of fiber bundles 64 … now limited to 16!!  See poster ME21 Contini et al. for details

  12. 510 ps FWHM 520 ps FWHM System characterization:- Instrument response function (IRF) • FWHM  500 ps • 5 ms minimum acquisition time per single channel • max injected power < 0.5 mW • 8 MHz (2MHz/board)  106 ph/s per wavelength  See poster ME21 Contini et al. for details

  13. System characterization:- Linearity for absorption • Results for 690 nm, no major differences at 820 nm • Negligible coupling between ma and ms’ • Inter-channel dispersion (CV) < 9% • Integral non-linearity < 3%  See poster ME21 Contini et al. for details
