    Abstract: A method for detecting unknown materials, such as drugs. A first location is surveyed using a video capture device to identify a second location comprising an unknown material. The second location is interrogated using SWIR spectroscopic and/or imaging methods to generate a SWIR hyperspectral image. The SWIR hyperspectral image is analyzed to associate the unknown material with a known drug material. A system for detecting unknown materials, such as drugs comprising a first collection lens for collecting interacted photons from a first location and a visible imaging device for generating a visible image. A second collection lens may collect a plurality of interacted photons from a second location and a tunable filter may filter the interacted photons. A spectroscopic imaging device may detect the interacted photons and generate a SWIR hyperspectral image. A processor may analyze the SWIR hypespectral image to associate an unknown material with a known material.

    Abstract: The instant disclosure provides for medical imaging systems that may be used in conjunction with an intraoperative medical device, such as an endoscope. Generally, the disclosed medical imaging systems include an illumination source configured to generate illuminating photons for illuminating a biological sample. An optical signal modulator is configured to separate one or more of the illuminating photons and photons that have interacted with the biological sample into a first optical signal having first multi-passband wavelengths and a second optical signal having second multi-passband wavelengths. At least one detector is configured to detect one or more of the first optical signal and the second optical signal and generate at least one image data set. A processor is configured to analyze the at least one image data set. In some embodiments, the processor is configured to differentiate between structures of the biological sample, such as between an ureter and surrounding tissue.

    Abstract: A first location comprising an unknown material may be scanned using SWIR hyperspectral imaging in a dual polarization configuration. Surveying may also be applied to thereby determine whether or not a human is present. This surveying may be achieved my assessing LWIR data, data acquired from motion sensors, and combinations thereof. If no human is present, a second location may be interrogated using Raman spectroscopic techniques to thereby obtain a Raman data set representative of the region of interest. This Raman data set may be assessed to associate an unknown material with a known material. This assessment may be achieved by comparing the Raman data set to one or more reference data sets in a reference database, where each reference data set is associated with a known material.

    Abstract: Systems for and methods for detecting samples and other compounds of interest are disclosed herein. The system can include an illumination source that is configured to emit light in a variety of different wavelength bands, an optical filter, a camera chip, and an optical path configured to direct the light emitted by the first illumination source at a target and direct the light reflected from the target to the at least one camera chip. The illumination source and the optical filter are transitionable between a first tuning state corresponding to a target tissue and a second tuning state corresponding to a background tissue. The system can be configured to record images at the different tuning states and generate a score image corresponding to the target tissue based on the recorded images.

    Abstract: A high passband transmission ratio is obtained by splitting a light beam from an objective lens into two orthogonally-polarized components processed along distinct paths through two independently controllable liquid crystal tunable filters (LCTFs). The filtered portions may be combined at an imaging plane or may be separately processed without recombining. Using two LCTFs, the arrangements discussed herein may ideally achieve 100% transmission in a single passband when two orthogonal components of a single wavelength are tuned, or 50% transmission at two distinct passbands when two orthogonal components from two different wavelengths (one component from each wavelength) are tuned. The dual polarization configuration described herein may be used to improve contrast or detected signal intensity in various microscopy and spectroscopic/chemical imaging applications and to increase the speed of detection.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for determining the presence of a target material in a sample. In general terms, the system and method disclosed herein provide collecting interacted photons from a sample having a target material. The interacted photons are passed through a tunable filter to a VIS-NIR detector where the VIS-NIR detector generates a VIS-NIR hyperspectral image representative of the filtered interacted photons. The hyperspectral image of the filtered interacted photons is analyzed by comparing the hyperspectral image of the filtered interacted photons to known hyperspectral images to identify the presence of a target material in a sample. The systems and methods disclosed herein provide easy identification of the presence of a target material in a sample.
