Tissue Optics and Photonics: Light-Tissue Interaction

Diffuse Optics for Tissue Monitoring and Tomography.

This review describes the diffusion model for light transport in tissues and the medical applications of diffuse light. Diffuse optics is particularly useful for measurement of tissue hemodynamics, wherein quantitative assessment of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin concentrations and blood flow are desired. The theoretical basis for near-infrared or diffuse optical spectroscopy (NIRS or DOS, respectiv...

Tunable graphene based optics, electronics and photonics

Graphene, which consists of a single atom-thick plane of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, exhibits unique both " bulk " and " surface " properties of materials due to its tunable electronic structure. In this talk, I would like to present the tunable platform of graphene-based materials including graphene and graphene oxide in optical, electronic and photonic applications by manipu...
