Biological Imaging and Sensing from Basic Techniques to Clinical Application

In the last 20 years of the 20th century, amazing developments were accomplished in photonics technology, such as optical communications, optical data storage, short-pulse laser technology, and so on. In particular, the progress in the technologies related to semiconductor lasers and optical fibers is noteworthy. One of the keywords common to these technologies is “near infrared (NIR) light.” The applications of these “NIR” technologies to biology and medicine have just begun at the beginning of the 21st century. “NIR” biomedical photonics is regarded as one of the most desirable future developments in science and technology.
