Abstract:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a pressing global health concern, emphasizing the need for early detection tools. In this study an optical filter for precise detection of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) fluorescence via two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) was developed. Fabricated with silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide thin films in a Fabry-Perot structure, the filter achieved a peak transmittance of about 95% at 483?nm, with a 12?nm full-width at half maximum. TPEF measurements using a tailored setup and NADH liquid phantoms underscored the filter's significance in selectively capturing NADH fluorescence while mitigating interference from other fluorophores. This work marks a substantial stride towards integrating multiphoton microscopy into conventional colonoscopy, enabling non-invasive, objective optical biopsy for colorectal tissue analysis. Further refinements of the experimental setup are imperative to advance tissue differentiation and enhance CRC diagnosis.
