New Frontiers of Photonics: Nanophotonics and Biophotonics

Abstract

Photonics which has been called by many as the dominant technology for the 21st century is a rapidly evolving field, adding new dimensions in this area of research. In our laboratory, we have recently focused on two new areas: Nanophotonics and Biophotonics. Nanophotonics deals with optical science and technology at the nanoscale level. Biophotonics involves the use of optical methods for imaging and detection at cellular and tissue levels as well as for optically guided and activated therapy. Here we present an overview of our effort in these areas.
