Biomedical optical fibers.

Lab on a chip
Optical fibers with the ability to propagate and transfer data via optical signals have been used for decades in medicine. Biomaterials featuring the properties of softness, biocompatibility, and biodegradability enable the introduction of optical fi...

Fiber bundle image restoration using deep learning.

Optics letters
We propose a deep learning-based restoration method to remove honeycomb patterns and improve resolution for fiber bundle (FB) images. By building and calibrating a dual-sensor imaging system, we capture FB images and corresponding ground truth data t...

Hybrid piezoresistive-optical tactile sensor for simultaneous measurement of tissue stiffness and detection of tissue discontinuity in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.

Journal of biomedical optics
To compensate for the lack of touch during minimally invasive and robotic surgeries, tactile sensors are integrated with surgical instruments. Surgical tools with tactile sensors have been used mainly for distinguishing among different tissues and de...
