Using spatial frequency domain imaging to monitor a skin biopsy wound: a pilot study (2024)
Journal Article
Zhang, L., Bounds, A., & Girkin, J. (2024). Using spatial frequency domain imaging to monitor a skin biopsy wound: a pilot study. Biomedical Optics Express, 15(10), 5872-5885. https://doi.org/10.1364/boe.536843

Surgical wound infection is a global postoperative issue adding a significant clinical burden and increasing healthcare costs. Early detection and subsequent diagnosis of infection is vital for accurate, early, and effective treatments. In this paper...

Monte Carlo simulations and phantom modeling for spatial frequency domain imaging of surgical wound monitoring (2023)
Journal Article
Zhang, L., Bounds, A., & Girkin, J. (2023). Monte Carlo simulations and phantom modeling for spatial frequency domain imaging of surgical wound monitoring. Journal of Biomedical Optics, 28(12), Article 126003. https://doi.org/10.1117/1.jbo.28.12.126003

Postoperative surgical wound infection is a serious problem around the globe, including in countries with advanced healthcare systems, and a method for early detection of infection is urgently required. We explore spatial frequency domain imaging (SF... Read More about Monte Carlo simulations and phantom modeling for spatial frequency domain imaging of surgical wound monitoring.

LightBox: a multiwell plate illumination system for photoactive molecule characterization (2021)
Journal Article
Bounds, A., Bailey, R., Adams, C., Callaghan, D., & Girkin, J. (2021). LightBox: a multiwell plate illumination system for photoactive molecule characterization. Journal of Biophotonics, 14(5), Article e202000481. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbio.202000481

Multiwell plates (MWPs) are the workhorses of the life sciences. However, biophotonics research with MWPs is limited, in part due to the lack of equipment suitable for photo‐irradiation of photoactive molecules in a MWP‐suitable, high‐throughput mann...

Early stage dental caries detection using near infrared spatial frequency domain imaging (2021)
Journal Article
Bounds, A. D., & Girkin, J. M. (2021). Early stage dental caries detection using near infrared spatial frequency domain imaging. Scientific Reports, 11, Article 2433. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-81872-7

Early stage dental caries can be remineralized without the need for “drill-and-fill” treatments that are more invasive and less permanent. However, early stage caries lesions typically present as a white spot on a white background, resulting in many...

Coulomb anti-blockade in a Rydberg gas (2019)
Journal Article
Bounds, A., Jackson, N., Hanley, R., Bridge, E., Huillery, P., & Jones, M. (2019). Coulomb anti-blockade in a Rydberg gas. New Journal of Physics, 21(5), Article 053026. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ab1c0e

We perform a comprehensive investigation of the coupling between a Rydberg-dressed atomic gas and an ultra-cold plasma. Using simultaneous time-resolved measurements of both neutral atoms and ions, we show that plasma formation occurs via a Coulomb a... Read More about Coulomb anti-blockade in a Rydberg gas.

Rydberg-dressed Magneto-Optical Trap (2018)
Journal Article
Bounds, A. D., Jackson, N. C., Hanley, R. K., Faoro, R., Bridge, E. M., Huillery, P., & Jones, M. P. A. (2018). Rydberg-dressed Magneto-Optical Trap. Physical Review Letters, 120(18), Article 183401. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.120.183401

We propose and demonstrate the laser cooling and trapping of Rydberg-dressed Sr atoms. By offresonantly coupling the excited state of a narrow (7 kHz) cooling transition to a high-lying Rydberg state, we transfer Rydberg properties such as enhanced e...
