Label-free advanced imaging

Kabakova Lab UTS

We are dedicated to developing innovative non-destructive light-based imaging methods that can lead to new discoveries in fundamental biology and enhance biomedical diagnostics.

Research

Brillouin spectroscopy

Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy is inelastic scattering of light by thermally excited phonons (acoustic waves) that can be used to study material's elasticity tensor.


Micro-mechanical imaging

We achieve label-free non-destructive micromechanical imaging of biological materials, cells and tissues using the principles of inelastic Brillouin light scattering.

Quantum mid-IR spectroscopy

Quantum interference with entangled photons helps us to achieve spectroscopy in mid infrared range (mid-IR) using cheap and high-efficiency detection in the visible.

Digital holography

Digital holography is an interferometric imaging technique that does not require an imaging lens. We use digital holography to reconstruct the refractive index distribution across a biological sample and complement BLS imaging data analysis.

Frequency comb spectroscopy

Optical Frequency Combs (FCs) are precise and equally spaced series of spectral lines, that can be used for precision spectroscopy and microscopy at high speed. We use FC sources to speed up Brillouin imaging and spectroscopy.

Brillouin fibre probes

For in-situ and endoscopic applications, Brillouin imaging instrumentation needs to be made compact and integrated with standard optical fiber technology. This project designs and develops such fiber-integrated devices for translating BLS into real-world applications.
