FOMoS: Fiber Optic Molecular Sensor

Modular fiber optic diagnostic tool for minimal-invasive diagnostics of tissue

Together with the IOAP-laser team of Technical University Berlin (TUB-IOAP) art photonics is working in a development project in the field of optical sensor technology. This project is partly funded by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund – ERDF).

The main project goal is a modular fiber optic diagnostic tool combining complementary methods for molecular analysis focused on minimal-invasive diagnostics of tissue, e.g. for early cancer diagnosis.

In line with preventive diagnostics and laser therapy there is a huge interest in as much as possible information on tissue before, during and after surgery including:

preventive identification of diseases by frequent, quick and economic investigation of suspicious changes of tissue
preoperative discrimination of tissue types (like muscle, blood vessel, nerve, fat) and distinction between healthy, inflammable, precancerous and malignant tissue
intraoperative process control and
postoperative control

The spectroscopic methods used in the project are also suited for applications in bioanalytics, food analytics and environmental analysis.
