Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new handbook covers the world of biophotonics not only geographically -- with the editors coming from different continents -- but also in terms of content, since the authors come from the whole spectrum of biophotonic basic and applied research. Designed to set the standard for the scientific community, these three volumes break new ground by providing readers with the physics basics as well as the biological and medical background, together with detailed reports on recent technical advances. The Handbook also adopts an application-related approach, starting with the application and then citing the various tools to solve the scientific task, making it of particular value to medical doctors. Divided into several sections, the first part offers introductory chapters on the different fields of research, with subsequent parts focusing on the applications and techniques in various fields of industry and research. The result is a handy source for scientists seeking the basics in a condensed form, and equally a reference for quickly gathering the knowledge from neighboring disciplines. Absolutely invaluable for biophotonic scientists in their daily work.

Download or read book Principles of Biophotonics written by Gabriel Popescu and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Volume 2 of Principles of Biophotonics continues to pour the foundation on which the next five volumes of optics and three volumes of methods will be built. While Volume 1 covered the mathematical apparatus to be used throughout the book, Volume 2 describes the emission, detection, and statistical representation of optical fields. The book starts by placing the visible spectrum in the context of the electromagnetic frequency range. This presentation stresses how thin of a sliver one normally calls the 'optical' spectrum. And, yet, so much can be accomplished within this narrow range of frequencies. To be able to describe properties of light with technical accuracy, the most common radiometric quantities that the reader is bound to encounter in subsequent volumes are introduced. Although the conversion to photon-based quantities is straightforward, it is presented explicitly, to avoid any confusion. For completeness, an analogy to the photometric quantities of light is drawn as well. Each chapter also contains a set of practice problems and additional references. Part of Series in Physics and Engineering in Medicine and Biology.
