Abstract

Optogenetics is a fast growing neuromodulation techniques as it can remotely stimulate neural activities of a genetically modified cells. The advantage of remotely controlling the neural activity triggered researchers to implement a headset to externally stimulate retina cells for people with retina pigmentosa. The wearable device requires an efficient optical system to focus the transmitted light pattern into the retina surface. In this work, three different lenses; contact lens, folded prism and linear lenses are used to evaluate the headset performance. A 90x90 μLED display is used as a light source and the optical efficiency for each lens is measured for different points over the lens area. Moreover, the impact of each lens on the headset performance in power and processing will be discussed in this work.
