   Explore Article Springer US (Jun 27 2009) Broadband Sources , Textbooks

   Photonics and nonlinear optics are important areas of science, engineering and technology. One of the most important ultrafast nonlinear optical processes is the supercontinuum (SC) – the production of intense white light pulses covering: uv, visible, NIR, MIR, and IR. It is produced using ultrashort laser pulses (ps/fs) to produce the ultrabroad band of frequencies. This book covers the fundamental principles and surveys research of current thinkers and experts in the field with updated references of the key breakthroughs over the past decade and a half.

3. Principles of Light-Skin Interactions (Book Chapter)

   Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Jun 12 2009) Textbooks

   Skin is the largest human organ. It covers between 1.5 and 2 m^2, comprising about one-sixth of total body weight. Skin performs a complex role in human physiology. It serves as a barrier to the environment and acts as a channel for communication to the outside world. For example, skin protects us from water loss, ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun, friction, and impact wounds. It also helps in regulating body temperature and metabolism. All photobiological responses are influenced heavily by the optical properties of skin. Therefore, for the successful development of photomedicine, in-depth knowledge and understanding of light-skin interactions, ...

9. Optical Coherence Tomography: Technique and Applications (Book Chapter)

   Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Dec 3 2008) Textbooks

   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive optical imaging modality providing real-time video rate images in two and three dimensions of biological tissues with micrometer resolution. OCT fills the gap between ultrasound and confocal microscopy, since it has a higher resolution than ultrasound and a higher penetration than confocal microcopy. Functional extensions are also possible, i.e., flow, birefringence or spectroscopic measurements with high spatial resolution. In ophthalmology, OCT is accepted as a clinical standard for diagnosing and monitoring the treatment of a number of retinal diseases. The potential of OCT in many other applications is currently being explored, such as ...

10. Nanoparticles for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy (Book Chapter)

    Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Nov 18 2008) Oncology , Textbooks

    Nanotechnology enables unique approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Over the last two decades, a large number of nanoparticle-based cancer diagnostics and therapeutics have been developed. These include superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles. While some of the liposomal and polymer-based therapeutic nanoparticles have advanced to clinical applications, a greater number of remaining nanoparticles platforms are currently in the preclinical stages of development. They have relatively incomplete toxicity profiles at this time. In this chapter, we will review the available preclinical and clinical toxicity data of a variety of nanoparticle platforms.

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the optical analog of ultrasound imaging and is emerging as a powerful imaging technique that enables non-invasive, in vivo, high resolution, cross-sectional imaging in biological tissue. A new generation OCT technology has now been developed, representing a quantum leap in resolution and speed, achieving in vivo optical biopsy, i.e. the visualization of tissue architectural morphology in situ and in real time. Functional extensions of OCT technology enable non-invasive, depth resolved functional assessment and imaging of tissue. These new techniques should not only improve image contrast, but should also enable the differentiation of pathologies via metabolic ...

13. Using the Light Scattering Component of Optical Intrinsic Signals to Visualize In Vivo Functional Structures of Neural Tissues (Book Chapter)

    Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Oct 8 2008) Textbooks

    Visualization of changes in reflected light from in vivo brain tissues reveals spatial patterns of neural activity. An important factor which influences the degree of light reflected includes the change in light scattering elicited by neural activation. Microstructures of neural tissues generally cause light scattering, and neural activities are associated with some changes in the microstructures. Here, we show that the optical properties unique to light scattering enable us to visualize spatial patterns of retinal activity non-invasively (FRG: functional retinography), and resolve functional structures in depth (fOCT: functional optical coherence tomography).

    In addition to ophthalmologic examination and retinal fundus photography, diagnostic modalities including fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) currently play important roles in the evaluation of patients with diabetic retin- opathy (DR). Fluorescein angiography has been a major diagnostic procedure in the clinical evaluation of DR for several decades. This chapter will review the principles and methodology underlying fluorescein angiography, as well as its specific application to the evaluation of diabetic retinopathy and especially retinal vascular permeability. Although fluorescein angiography provides valuable anatomic and functional information pertaining to the retinal vasculature, it does not provide ultrastructural anatomic detail ...
