Research

Objective: Fusing biomedicine and optics using novel optical tools to tackle diagnostic and measurement problems in biomedicine.

Optical methods are well known for their high resolution (micrometer), and high sensitivity (~ nanometer or less). Taking advantage of the coherence nature of light and a wide range of light-matter interactions including fluorescence, Raman, and non-linear light generation, optical systems provide various non-invasive, non-destructive tools for biomedical research and clinical applications.

The major effort of this laboratory can be roughly divided into the following categories:

Optofluidic Microscopy (OFM)

Turbidity Suppression by Optical Phase Conjugation (TSOPC)

Coherence Domain Probing System
