Glucose measuring by faraday approach based magneto-optical method in-vitro environment for medical diagnosis

In this study, in order to help the blood glucose measurement on diabetic patients by using optical activity of glucose and the changing polarization of light under a magnetic field, an optical system determining the glucose concentration in the blood phantom and operating in-vitro conditions is being developed [4,5]. In that designed optical system, the alteration of the polarization angle mechanically will lead to the user and system errors. Alternatively, the study aims to prevent the mechanical origin of this error via the magneto-optical polarization glass, whose Verdet constant is known, modified inside an coil. In the study, the polarization angle deviations from the sugar solution was measured by the Faraday approach based magneto-optical method in an in-vitro environment. It was observed that the calculated theoretical values and measured experimental data are compatible. Most blood glucose measuring methods cause discomfort (pain) for the patient as well as have the risk of infection[1]. Tthe optic based approach is one of the alternatively considered methods [2,3]. It shows that the solution of glucose concentration alternates the light polarization, which means the glucose is optically active. Another parameter that changes the polarization of light is the applied magnetic field via the propagation of light.
