Abstract: • Utilized hybrid technique by integrating Brillouin spectroscopy with fiber Bragg grating thermal mapping. • Conducted viscoelastic and temperature measurements on albumen and blood vessels in CAM models. • Validated CAM models as cost-effective tools to study biomechanical properties in-vivo. The laser ablation technique is commonly used in biomedicine to treat tumor cancerous tissues with minimal invasiveness to surrounding normal tissues. However, an accurate non-contact, real-time, in-situ, label-free thermomechanical measurement of affected tissues undergoing laser heating and ablation is virtually non-existent in clinical settings. In this work, we demonstrate real-time monitoring of local temperature and viscoelastic response of the albumen and blood vessels in chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) models during infrared laser heating and ablation by non-contact, label-free Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy and fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based thermal mapping. The albumen and CAM models were selected as ethical and cost-effective models with an easily accessible vasculature network to investigate changes in thermal and viscoelastic properties during laser-induced heating and ablation. Both studied biomaterials became stiffer and less viscous during laser-induced heating due to the thermal denaturation of proteins, forming cross-links with subsequent gelation (coagulation) and water evaporation (dehydration). Demonstrated hybrid BLS-FBG modality has a strong potential to equip conventional laser ablation therapy with accurate, real-time thermomechanical property-informed diagnostics to substantially improve patient outcomes.
