Abstract
A phase modulated spectroscopy (PMS) system for detecting a pathophysiological condition in a subject includes two laser diodes emitting radiation at wavelengths of about 754-760 nm and 816-840 nm. These two laser diodes are modulated sinusoidally at about 220 MHz. The signals from each laser diode are brought to the subject by a bifurcated plastic optical fiber of 1 mm diameter. After transmission through the subject, the signals are detected by a Hamamatsu R928 photomultiplier (PMT), which generates two experimental signals. The experimental signals are compared to a reference signal in a phase detector. The respective phase shifts experienced by the signals are combined to form sum and difference signals, which are correlated to a pathophysiological condition.
