To bring Brillouin spectroscopy to biological samples -- such as a chicken breast, or a patient's potentially cancerous tumor -- researchers at the University of Maryland and Harvard Medical School have recently developed a new virtually imaged phased array-based Brillouin spectrometer. They describe their new interferometer configuration this week in Applied Physics Letters.
