Bispectral index monitoring to prevent awareness during anaesthesia: the B-Aware randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: BIS-guided anaesthesia reduces the risk of awareness in at-risk adult surgical patients undergoing relaxant general anaesthesia, and with a cost of routine BIS monitoring at US16 dollars per use in Australia and a number needed to treat of 138, the cost of preventing one case ofawareness in high-risk patients is about 2200 dollars.
Journal ArticleDOI

Creation and detection of optical modes with spatial light modulators

TL;DR: It is outlined how virtually all the previous ISO-standard beam diagnostic techniques may be readily replaced with all-digital equivalents, thus paving the way for unravelling of light in real time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlled generation of higher-order Poincaré sphere beams from a laser

TL;DR: In this paper, the angular momentum of light can be described by positions on a higher-order Poincare sphere, where superpositions of spin and orbital angular momentum states give rise to laser beams that have many applications.
