About
Bernhard Roth is a leading figure in biophotonics and optical sensing, whose work bridges fundamental optics with critical clinical applications. His primary research focuses on developing advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) techniques and novel fiber-optic sensors for biomedical and industrial use. Roth’s major contributions include pioneering a refractive-index correction method for OCT, which enables precise imaging of hard biological tissues like bone—a breakthrough with over 25 citations that has been explored as a navigation tool for robot-assisted bone surgery. In the realm of fiber sensing, he has engineered an innovative optical bend sensor using eccentrically micro-structured polymer optical fibers, a highly flexible and elastic device for movement detection that has garnered 11 citations. His work on refractive-index corrected OCT as a surgical navigation tool, while earlier in his career, laid the groundwork for reducing surgical trauma and improving precision. With a growing citation impact, Roth’s research is shaping the future of minimally invasive surgery and smart sensing technologies, making him a key innovator at the intersection of optics, materials science, and medicine.
