Dr. Wicksted is using noninvasive confocal Raman spectroscopy in order
to detect hydration changes of ocular tissue (cornea, lens) as well as
to sense the pharmacokinetic behavior associated with ophthalmic drugs
applied topically to the eye. Dr. Wicksted is also working on the
development of Bragg gratings for applications in wavelength division
filtering, optical storage, and for fiber optic temperature and
pressure sensor applications.
Additional research projects include characterizing the optical
properties of materials utilizing several spectroscopic techniques,
such as Raman and Brillouin scattering. Potential applications
resulting from these investigations include optical communication
devices, acousto-optic devices, and optical limiting devices.
