California Institute of Technology
| Welcome The research of the Biophotonics Laboratory, lead by Professor Changhuei Yang is focused on the development of novel tools that combine optics and microfluidics to tackle diagnostic and measurement problems in biomedicine. The major techniques that are under development in the laboratory include Optofluidic Microscopy (OFM), Turbidity Suppression by Optical Phase Conjugation (TSOPC), and Coherence Domain Probing System. Optofluidic Microscopy is a unique way of scanning objects without lenses, which can greatly reduce the size and the cost of conventional microscopes. TSOPC probes the elastic optical scattering in biological tissues, which has great potential in biomedical applications such as tissue density heterogeneity determination, photodynamic therapy, etc. Our research on Coherence Domain Probing System is seeking to improve the current Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technique for various clinical applications. Some major research projects are outlined in the column on the right. For more detailed information, please visit our research page. We are also pleased to include a link to the Optofluidics Webpage, which contains information on the collaborative efforts between Caltech, Harvard, Stanford and UCSD to further develop the field of optofluidics.News We are currently looking for new post-docs and graduate students. Interested candidates are welcome to contact Dr.Yang. The Biophotonics Lab, get directions, is located in the Moore Laboratory on the main Caltech campus. |
