Blue-green diode-pumped solid-state laser system for transcutaneous bilirubinometry in neonatal jaundice

摘要

The authors introduce the design of a blue-green diode-pumped solid-state laser system for transcutaneous measurement of serum bilirubin level in jandiced new born infant. The system follows the principles of optical bilirubinometry. The choice of wavelengths provides correction for the presence of hemoglobin. The new design is more compact and less expensive.
