- A continuous-wave diffuse optical tomography (CW4) imaging system with 18 lasers and 16 detectors (manufactured by TechEn).
- Two additional CW-DOT imaging systems (CW5), each with 32 lasers and 32 detectors (also manufactured by TechEn).
- A time-resolved spectroscopy system with pulsed laser diodes at 4 wavelengths and 4 photon-counting photo-multiplier tubes (manufactured by PicoQuant).
- An ISS system with 16 laser diodes and 4 photomultiplier detectors (Imagent™ functional brain imaging).
- A time-domain diffuse optical tomography (TD-DOT) imaging system, with an imaged intensified CCD detector and optically multiplexed sources (constructed in-house with the support of Advanced Research Technologies http://www.art.ca ).
- A Mai:Tai Titanium:Saphire Laser (manufactured by SpectraPhysics)
- 2 Ocean Optics Spectrographs (model S2000)
- 4 Near-infrared spectroscopy systems (NIRS 1 and 2) (custom made by TechEn).
- 8-bit CCD camera (Cohu 4910) and various white light lamps, a mercury xenon lamp (200W, Oriel) with housing and SMA connector, a mercury lamp (200W, Oriel) for speckle microscopy.
- 8-bit CCD camera (DALSA) capable of 950 frames per second with 256x256 pixels.
- TE-cooled 12-bit CCD (Coolsnap fx, Roper Scientific).
- TE-cooled 16-bit CCD (Cascade, Roper Scientific).
- 50mW diode-pumped solid state laser (532 nm).
Other equipment includes:
- Electronics: 1 Gs/s digital oscilloscope (HP Infiniium), numerous data acquisition cards, network analyzer, 24-node Linux Beowulf system.
- Optical fiber equipment: single-mode, multi-mode and fiber bundles, optical fiber polishing equipment, and optomechanical fiber coupling.
