Excited to see this now published by Caitlin Tye , out now in BioMedical Optics Express (Optica).
Raman through a tiny off the shelf fibre, enable by photon counting tech

Some notes on why I am excited about this publication, here:

Published in @OpticaPubsGroup , during her PhD @HeriotWattUni , working applying advanced photonics to healthcare with @uCare_EPSRC and others.
Nip along to Nottingham on Friday 13th June to join us @IOPMED @IOPOpticalGroup @PhysicsNews in discussing optics for clinical practice, with views from academics developing them and medical practitioners using them in the clinic. Info: iop.eventsair.com/ocp2025/Re… by: Today - 9th

It was great to be involved in this event and be invited to (badly) express some of my opinions - thinking about bridging the gap between emerging technologies and real world applicaitons....
We in @IOPMED love pushing for more physics to reach healthcare.

Great to see this announced and lucky to be involved in it. The MicroTex hub gives us a real opportunity for impactful work over the coming years.
Incredibly excited that our MicroTex Hub has been selected for funding by @EPSRC.
Our team will develop new tools for experimental medicine in the lung, accelerating new therapies for inflammation and infection.

Another excellent #Photon24 with the @IOPOpticalGroup @IOPMED @iop_conferences and a great time had in conversations with the community. Proud of my group for the work they presented, and we did enjoy the very large sparkly signs....
And András Kufcsák presented our translation too clinic of a time resolved medical device - and I forgot to take a photo!
Here is András presenting in Italy (ISSW) instead, but it's just not as fun as #Photon24 ...

The Single Photon Workshop abstract deadline has been extended to 26th July. So far, there has been a huge response to the conference. See web-site for more details on abstract submission and confirmed invited speakers.

This is disturbing.

Great work from Caitlin!

The power of many single photon detectors in a CMOS SPAD array to spectrally multiplex, then measure temperature at all points on a fibre using time.
With @uCare_EPSRC and @HWU_Physics
As these types of detectors become industrially produced (for LIDAR / self driving cars) I think it is interesting to see how we can apply them to these kind of alternate practical applications.
But in the end - we did it for fun!
