Biomedical Optics & Medical Imaging

The constructive interference of coherent light inside microsphere cavities enables robust, ultrasensitive biosensors as observed from resonance-frequency shifts.

Novel optical systems show excellent properties for laser-induced fluorescence detection of dangerous aerosols, hydrosols, chemicals, and explosives.

Jim Fujimoto works with students and patients to expand the clinical applications of biomedical optics.

Absorption wavelength changes are caused by variations in the internal electric field of the proteins.

Leon Esterowitz completed his PhD in the early 60s in the early days of the laser. After a career in defense, he moved to NSF, and now reviews funding proposals in biophotonics.
