A review of reported tissue optical properties summarizes the wavelength-dependent
behavior of scattering and absorption. Formulae are presented for generating the optical …

The diverse output pulsewidths, linewidths and polarization states of fibre lasers provide
both high efficiency and high output power in a small, low-maintenance format that is ideal …

We present a review of short-wave infrared (SWIR, defined here as∼ 1000 to 2000 nm)
spectroscopy and imaging techniques for biological tissue optical property characterization …

Biomedical photonics is defined as the science of harnessing light and other forms of radiant
energy to address problems in medicine and biology. The field has experienced explosive …

Nowadays, dynamically developing optical (photonic) technologies play an ever-increasing

Acne pathogenesis is a multifactorial process that occurs at the level of the pilosebaceous
unit. While acne was previously perceived as an infectious disease, recent data have …

We demonstrate a method to estimate the concentrations of water and lipid in scattering
media such as biological tissues with diffuse optical spectra acquired over the range of 900 …

With rapid emergence of multi-drug resistant microbes, it is imperative to seek alternative
means for infection control. Optical waveguides are an auspicious delivery method for …

Lipid is a common constituent in atherosclerotic plaques. The location and area of the lipid
region is closely related to the progression of the disease. Intravascular photoacoustic …
