Abstract
An implantable fluorescent concentrator is configured to be inserted in vivo as a subcutaneous light source for optical absorption spectroscopy of surface-near tissue layers. As a result, certain and reliable results of the optical absorption spectroscopy are achievable. Furthermore, various analytes with different absorption properties are certainly and reliably quantifiable.
