Diagnostic Applications of Lasers

This 44-page resource, developed by the National Center for Optics and Photonics Education (OP-TEC), is one of three modules that cover optics and lasers in the biomedicine field. This module covers "the principles and applications of optical and laser scanning microscopes, confocal laser scanning, multiphoton microscopes, near field microscopes, optical coherence tomography, doppler velocimetry, medical tomography, holographic imaging, ballistic photon imaging, photo acoustic imaging, terahertz imaging, and photo biological techniques." The following sections are included: Introduction, Prerequisites, Objectives, Scenario, Photo Physical Applications, Imaging Techniques, Laser Applications, Photo Biological Techniques, Exercises, Laboratories, and more. Two other biomedicine modules are available to view separately.
