A series of Optical & Medical Engineering innovations have been developed through the interaction between Engineering, Computer and Medical Sciences.
In particular there are areas of exchange between medical instrumentation and aerospace science, which promise to create new types of intelligent optical diagnostic technology.

Holographic Interferometry
The movement in the face has been contoured using holographic interferometry.
The fringe spacing represents a movement of 30 m and was created by two pulses from a ruby laser.

Optical system:
Developed for delivering a high power ‘Q’ switched laser beam into a gas turbine engine at MIT to visualise airflows.
The probe exit beam diameter was 4 mm delivering a 200 mJ laser
pulse in 10 ns.
Similar construction has been developed for application to surgery.

The resolution must be a minimum of 10 line pairs/mm.
The colour contrast must be calibrated.
The colour balance must be compared to a stored standard.
The pixel integrity/optical cleanliness of the system must be checked, on both the camera and the monitors used.
The camera test should be carried out under the same conditions weekly.
A flat resolution test chart can be used to evaluate the camera

A high resolution low cost Loupe system
• 1 year Smart Award, 2 years research as part of an EU grant.
• The loupe is for use in the third world as a low cost operating stereoscopic system.
• It uses low cost plastic aspheric lenses. The lens system has been designed with a magnification of 3 at an object distance of 300 mm. Its optical resolution is 20 lines/mm
• It has been designed to be viewed by the eye, which requires the exit pupil of the lens to be focused at infinity.
• The operation of the lens is to minimise spherical and chromatic aberrations. This is achieved by a complex surface curvature and a specially designed spectral spatial filter.
![Page 17: Centre for Medical Science &Technology Optical Developments in Medical Engineering](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56814fd1550346895dbd90dc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Surgical Loupe

If the innovations discussed are applied, then:
Cameras provide a visual history and library for surgeons and a map for operations where vision is restricted.
Intelligent cameras will assist in aiding the pre-diagnostics.
Images of the eye placed into a 3-D drawing model would allow the surgeon to evaluate the complexity of the operation.
Self-illuminating probes make surgery simpler and easier; they also free the surgeon, in that he no longer needs to control the position of the light source.
Active probes make training in surgery safer and can provide direct feedback, e.g. power delivery during laser ablation.
Disposable surgical instrumentation and non-contact diagnostics considerably lower risk of infection.
Intelligent non-contacting low cost intelligent diagnostics make the early detection of potentially sight threatening diseases possible.
Cumulative Effect of Technological Advances
![Page 19: Centre for Medical Science &Technology Optical Developments in Medical Engineering](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56814fd1550346895dbd90dc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The probes are still at an early research stage; but with the falling costs of computer technology and innovations in optical design and laser technology, the prospect of lower cost, synthetically intelligent, accurate optical diagnostics are starting to emerge.

Tomographic measurement of
heat release
• Part of a 3 year Faraday Intersect project with Rolls-Royce, CORUS and DERA as the industrial partners.
• The Aim here is to find a SME partner interested to develop the approach as a testing instrument for Rolls Royce.
• The probe is constructed from a ring of fibre optics which record the light emitted from the within the combustor. A tomographic reconstruction is used to capture the emitted light and a 40 fibre optics placed in a ring around the combustor. The objective of the work is to measure the heat release from the combustor to a spatial resolution of 10mm and a temporal resolution of 600Hz.

The Small Engine project
• The operating pressure and temperature of a I.C. engine is very similar to those of a gas turbine engine. As a result of this a small low cost test bed engine has been develop on which a series of novel instruments are in the process of development. In particular the engine is optically instrumented and has heat transfer gauges mounted on its head and piston. It is possible to also investigate the fundamental aspects of, for example direct injection.
• This work is part of the INTErSECT faraday Centre project: The Application of Data Fusion to a Multi Sensored Intelligent Engine.
• It represents 2 years of research.
