ENSC 476-4 Biophotonics

Regular course

In this course students learn about basic physics of light-biomatter interactions and tissue optics. With this background they will embark on practical issues such as light induced effects in bio-systems, diagnostic techniques and instrumentation, therapeutic instrumentation and applications, introduction to optical tomography, and finally they will learn about recent developments in optical sensors and applications. Lectures are accompanied by laboratory activities ending with a few basic evaluation projects and a final design and fabrication project. After this course the students will be able to evaluate feasibility of new photonic based medical devices, such as diagnostic tools and light treatment technologies, and design and optimize these devices.
