Tasks and Timeline:
Module 1: Introduction to Optics
This course aims to provide their background knowledge in essential physics / optics needed for the rest
of class. Topics include geometric optics and wave optics (interference, diffraction, etc.).
Module 2: Light-Tissue Interaction
In this course, we will learn basic light-tissue interactions and tissue optical properties.
Module 3: Optical Instrumentation
In this course, we will learn the common devices / instrumentations used in biophotonics, such as lasers,
detectors, spectrometers, etc.
Module 4: Biomedical Spectroscopy
In this course, we will learn various forms of spectroscopic technologies and their biomedical
applications. Specifically, we will introduce light-scattering spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy,
and Raman spectroscopy.
Module 5: Optical Coherence Tomography
In this course, we will learn Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), a non-destructive high-resolution
tissue imaging modality. OCT has been widely used in ophthalmology.
Module 6: Biomedical Microscopy
In this course, we will learn how to design and implement a microscope. We will focus on fluorescence
microscopic technologies such as confocal microscopy and multi-photon microscopy.
