Abstract:
The concentration of substance in blood is measured non-invasively, with high accuracy and with simple configuration. Laser light generated by a light source is locally irradiated on the body epithelium of a subject, and the resulting diffused reflected light is detected by a light detector. The laser light has a wavelength of 9.26 μm. The laser light is generated by converting and amplifying pulsed excitation light from an excitation light source to a long wavelength. A plate-shaped window that is transparent to mid-infrared light is brought in close contact with the body epithelium. The glucose concentration in interstitial fluid can be calculated using normalized light intensity calculated from a signal ratio of signals from a monitoring light detector and the light detector.
