Traditional investigation procedures of soil and groundwater contamination are followed by soil gas sampling, soil sampling, groundwater sampling, establishment of monitoring wells, and groundwater monitoring. It often takes several weeks to obtain the analysis reports, and sometimes, it needs supplemental sampling and analysis to delineate the polluted area. Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) system is designed for the detection of free-phase petroleum pollutants, and it is suitable for on-site real-time site investigation when coupling with a direct push testing tool. Petroleum products always contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds possessing fluorescence characteristics that make them detectable through LIF detection. In this study, LIF spectroscopy of 5 major fuel products was conducted to establish the databank of LIF fluorescence characteristic spectra, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, marine fuel and low-sulfur fuel. Multivariate statistical tools were also applied to distinguish LIF fluorescence characteristic spectra among the mixtures of selected fuel products. This study successfully demonstrated the feasibility of identifying fuel species based on LIF characteristic fluorescence spectra, also LIF seemed to be uncovered its powerful ability of tracing underground petroleum leakages.

This paper presents a hyperspectral imaging technique based on laser-induced fluorescence for non-invasive detection of tumorous tissue on mouse skin. Hyperspectral imaging sensors collect image data in a number of narrow, adjacent spectral bands. Such high-resolution measurement of spectral information reveals contiguous emission spectra at each image pixel useful for the characterization of constituent materials. The hyperspectral image data used in this study are fluorescence images of mouse skin consisting of 21 spectral bands in the visible spectrum of the wavelengths ranging from 440 nm to 640 nm. Fluorescence signal is measured with the use of laser excitation at 337 nm. An acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) is used to capture images at 10 nm intervals. All spectral band images are spatially registered with the reference band image at 490 nm to obtain exact pixel correspondences by compensating the spatial offsets caused by the refraction differences in AOTF at different wavelengths during the image capture procedure. The unique fluorescence spectral signatures demonstrate a good separation to differentiate malignant tumors from normal tissues for rapid detection of skin cancers without biopsy.

This paper presents a miniature optical system for the fluorescence detection of the patterned protein chip. The patterned protein chip was fabricated using MEMS process. The fluorescence from the patterned protein chip was measured while varying the concentration of the BSA. The fluorescence light is separated spatially from the excitation beam using mini-size prism to increase SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio). The combination of prism and mirrors can convert the excitation light from the laser diode to uniform illumination on the specimen. We believe that the proposed system for fluorescence detection can be applied to rea1ization of point-of-care.

We have developed a fluorescence optical detection system using a digital micromirror device (DMD) for monitoring 3D cell culture matrices in situ. Full 3D imaging with fast scanning speed was implemented by the combined action of a DMD and a motorized stage. Imaging results with fluorescent microbeads measure the minimum axial resolution of the system as $6.3{\mu}m$, while full 1-mm scanning through 3D alginate-based matrix was demonstrated. For cell imaging, improved images were obtained by removing background fluorescence although the scanning distance was reduced because of low intracellular fluorescence efficiency. The system is expected to be useful to study various dynamics and behaviors of 3-dimensionally cultured cells in microfluidic systems.

The BDS is mainly consist of an optical chamber, in-outlet nozzle system, 405 nm diode laser, an avalanche photo detector (APD) for scattering signal and photomultiplier tubes (PMT) for fluorescence signals in two different wavelength range ; F1, 510-600 nm and F2, 435-470 nm. The detection characteristics, especially ratio of fluorescence signal intensity were examined using well-known components : polystylene latex (PSL), fluorescence PSL, $2{\mu}m$ of SiO2 micro sphere, dried yeast, NADH, ovalbumin, fungicide powder and standard dust.

The detection of carious lesions is a key point to apply appropriate preventive measures or operative treatment of dental caries. A laser fluorescence device DIAGNOdent$^{(R)}$ (KaVo, Biberach, Germany) has also been shown to be of additional clinical value in the detection of initial caries. This report focus on the DIAGNOdent$^{(R)}$ for caries detection. DIAGNOdent$^{(R)}$ irradiate visible red light at a wavelength of 655 nm to elicit near-infrared fluorescence from caries lesion. This device is known as a reproducible method for caries detection, with good sensitivity and specificity especially for caries detection on occlusal and accessible smooth surfaces. DIAGNOdent$^{(R)}$ tended to be more sensitive method of detecting occlusal dentinal caries, however, showed more false-positive diagnoses than the visual inspection. So Clinician should not use the device as a clinician's primary diagnostic method and it is recommended that the device should be used in the decision-making process in relation to the diagnosis of caries as a second opinion in cases of doubt after visual inspection. The trend of modern dentistry would be a preventive approach rather than invasive treatment of the disease. This is possible only with early detection and respective preventive measures, DIAGNOdent$^{(R)}$ can help the changes.

A fluorometric detection technique for HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) was developed for application in a fiber-optic immunosensor using a protein A Langmuir-Blodgget (LB) film. For the fluorescence immunoassay, antibodies specific to HDL or LDL were imobilied on the protein A LB film, and a fluorescence amplification method was developed to overcome their weak fluorescence. The deposition of protein A using the LB technique was monitored using a surface pressure-are $({\pi}-A)$ curve, and the antibody immobilization of the protein A LB film was experimentally verified. The immobilized antibody was used to separate only HDL and LDL from a sample, then the fluorescence of he separated HDL or LDL was amplified. The amount of LDL or HDL was measured using the developed fiber optic fluorescence detection system. The optical properties resulting from the reaction of HDL or LDL with o-phtaldialdehyde, detection range, response time, and stability of the immunoassay were all investigated. The respective detection ranges for HDL and LDL were sufficient to diagnose the risk of coronary heart disease. The amplification step increased the sensitivity, while selective separation using the immobilized antibody led to linearity in the sensor signal. The regeneration of the antibody-immobilized substrate could produce a stable and reproducible immunosensor.

Signal detection technologies such as fluorescence, charge and electrochemical detection used in the monolithic capillary electrophoresis system to convert the biochemical reaction into the electrical signal. The fluorescence detection using photodiodes that measure fluorescence emitted from eluting molecules is widely used for the monolithic capillary electrophoresis system. In this paper, in order to fabricate a photosensor has the increased sensitivity, we investigated on the sensitivity of general type and p-i-n type diode. The p-i-n diode has higher sensitivity than photodiode. Considering these results, we fabricated p-i-n diodes on the high resistive$(4k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm)$ wafer into rectangle and finger pattern and compared internal resistance of each pattern. The internal resistance of p-i-n diode can be decreased by the application of finger pattern has parallel resistance structure from $571{\Omega}$ to $393{\Omega}$.

유동 세포 분석법은 세포나 입자에 대하여 정밀하고 다양한 광학적 특성을 제공해주는 전기적 탐지 기술이다. 형광 처리된 세포나 미립자에 특정한 파장의 빛을 가함으로써 발생 되는 광 산란과 형광 방출을 통해 세포의 크기와 입상도를 포함한 다차원적인 정보를 제공해주는 유동 세포 분석법은 생체 의학 분야 또는 생물 물리학 분야에서 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 그러나 유동 세포 분석법은 고가이며 장비 설치에 있어 적절한 공간이 필요하고 형광 염료 선택에 제한적이라는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는, 상용화된 유동 세포 분석에 사용되는 고가의 레이저와 운영시스템 대신 발광 다이오드, 마이크로 컨트롤러와 광 검출기를 사용한 저가의 형광세포 측정 시스템을 개발하여 사용자가 원하는 형광 염료에 대한 자유도를 높였다. 또한, 3D 프린터를 사용하여 모듈별 소형화 및 경량화를 통한 사용자 맞춤형 제작이 가능하도록 하였다. 그 결과, 형광처리 한 세포의 양에 변화를 주어 발광도를 측정하였을 때, 높은 선형성이 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.
