    • A method for determining if tissue is malignant as opposed to non-malignant (i.e., benign tumor tissue, benign tissue, or normal tissue). In one embodiment, the method comprises irradiating a human breast tissue sample with light at a wavelength of about 310 nm and measuring the time-resolved fluorescence emitted therefrom at about 340 nm. The time-resolved fluorescence profile is then compared to similar profiles obtained from known malignant and non-malignant human breast tissues. By fitting the profiles to the formula I(t)=A.sub.1 e.sup.(-t/.tau. 1.sup.) +A.sub.2 e.sup.(-t/.tau. 2.sup.), one can quantify the differences between tissues of various conditions. For example, non-malignant human breast tissues exhibit a slow component (.tau..sub.2) which is less than 1.6 ns whereas malignant human breast tissues exhibit a slow component (.tau..sub.2) which is greater than 1.6 ns. In addition, non-malignant human breast tissues exhibit a ratio of fast to slow amplitudes (A.sub.1 /A.sub.2) which is greater than 0.85 whereas malignant human breast tissues exhibit a ratio of fast to slow amplitudes (A.sub.1 /A.sub.2) which is less than 0.6. This technique can be used with different excitation and/or emission wavelengths, and can be applied to the detection of malignancies (or other abnormal states) in tissues other than human breast tissue.
    • 与非恶性(即良性肿瘤组织,良性组织或正常组织)相反,确定组织是否为恶性的方法。 在一个实施方案中,该方法包括用约310nm波长的光照射人乳房组织样品,并测量在约340nm发射的时间分辨荧光。 然后将时间分辨的荧光图谱与从已知的恶性和非恶性人乳腺组织获得的相似特征进行比较。 通过拟合公式I(t)= A1e(-t / tau1)+ A2e(-t / tau2),可以量化各种条件的组织之间的差异。 例如,非恶性人乳腺组织表现出小于1.6ns的缓慢成分(tau 2),而恶性人乳腺组织表现出大于1.6ns的缓慢成分(tau 2)。 此外,非恶性人乳腺组织表现出快于慢振幅(A1 / A2)的比值大于0.85,而恶性人乳腺组织表现出快于慢振幅(A1 / A2)的比值小于0.6 。 该技术可以用于不同的激发和/或发射波长,并且可以应用于除人乳腺组织以外的组织中的恶性肿瘤(或其他异常状态)的检测。

    • A laser is disclosed which includes an optical path length extender for increasing the optical path length of the laser cavity. The path length extender, which is disposed inside the laser cavity itself, includes a set of three curved mirrors each having the same curvature. The three mirrors are spaced and angularly positioned such that light entering the path length extender is reflected back and forth about the three mirrors a defined number of times before exiting the path length extender. By rotating one or two of the mirrors the number of reflections within the set of mirrors can be changed. The laser cavity configuration is particularly useful in a pulse laser for increasing the optical path length of the cavity for the purpose of increasing the pulse to pulse separation of the emitted pulses, when such an increase is desired, but is not limited exclusively to pulse lasers.

    • An oscilloscope constructed for use in real time resolving an ultrafast voltage signal includes a streak camera having a transmission line photocarthode, a constant light source for illuminating the photocathode, an input coupled to the transmission line photocathode, an accellerating mesh, a pair of sweep electrodes, electron multiplication means, a phosphor screen and a DC high voltage source. In use, the voltage signal to be examined is applied to the input. When the voltage signal on propagating through the photocathode intersects in time and space on the photocathode with the light from the light source, a number of electrons proportional to the intensity of the voltage signal are emitted from the photocathode. These electrons are then accelerated, deflected by the pair of sweep electrodes, multiplied by the microchannel plate and then impinge upon the phosphor screen, creating an optical image having an intensity proportional to the number of impinging electrons. The image on the phosphor screen is recorded by a video camera, processed by a computer and then displayed on a monitor. In another embodiment, the streak camera includes a second photocathode with input signals being applied to either one or both photocathodes. In other embodiments, a photomultiplier tube having a pair of transmission line photocathodes are described.

    • A light detector which can be gated on and off in picoseconds is disclosed. The light detector includes a photomultiplier tube and a streak camera, the streak camera having a picosecond sweep time and being disposed so as to serve as a gate for the input to the photomultiplier tube. In operation, light received by the streak camera is converted into a streak image which is formed on the phosphor screen of the streak camera tube, the streak image corresponding to the intensity of light received by the streak camera during the time window of the sweep. Relay optics at the output end of the streak camera images the streak image onto the photocathode of the photomultiplier tube. The input end of the streak camera includes a two lens relay lens system. A variable aperture located between the phosphor screen and the output relay optics limits the portion of the streak image that is collected by the output relay optics and actually imaged onto the photomultiplier tube and hence the portion of the time window during which the photomultiplier tube receives light from the streak camera. A varible delay unit coupled to input of the streak camera enables the time window to be selectively shifted.
