Versatile light delivery and collection
Full Taper Operation
Interfacing with large volumes of tissue
In standard operation light is delivered/collected by the entire taper surface.
Spatial Selective Operation
Multi-site experiments with a single probe
By uncoventional light delivery strategies, light delivery/collection is restricted to sub-portions of the taper.
APPLICATIONS
Optogenetics
Tapered fibers can be used to target large volumes of tissue. Taper optical properties allow to deliver light either to the full region of interest or sub-portions of it, depending on how light is launched into the fiber.
Fiber Photometry
Tapered fibers can collect light through the entire tapered surface. When spatial selective light delivery is used to excite functional fluorescence, multisite fiber photometry with a single fiber can be achieved.
