Devices that stimulate nerves with electric current assist in nerve identification. Contemporary devices have two main limitations: 1) the physical contact of the stimulating electrode and (2) the spread of the current through the tissue. In contrast to electrical stimulation, pulsed infrared optical radiation can be used to safely and selectively stimulate neural tissue and might be valuable for screening.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> The gerbil facial nerve was exposed to 250 microsecond pulses of 2.12 \u03bcm radiation delivered via a 600\u2010\u03bcm\u2010diameter optical fiber at a repetition rate of 2 Hz. With use of 27 GA, 12\u2010mm intradermal electrodes, muscle action potentials were recorded. Nerve samples were examined for possible tissue damage.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Eight facial nerves were stimulated with radiant exposures between 0.71 and 1.77 J\/cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, resulting in compound muscle action potentials (CmAPs) that were simultaneously measured at the m. orbicularis oculi, m. levator nasolabialis, and m. orbicularis oris. Resulting CmAP amplitudes were 0.3 to 0.4 mV, 0.15 to 1.4 mV, and 0.3 to 2.3 mV, respectively, depending on the radial location of the optical fiber and the radiant exposure. Individual nerve branches were also stimulated, resulting in CmAP amplitudes between 0.2 and 1.6 mV.
