Biophotonics is the study of the interaction of light with biological material, where “light” includes all forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. A more recent development of photonics, much of biophotonics is focused on translating discoveries in the sciences around lasers, light and imaging into useful medical tools. Medical imaging and in vitro diagnostics are just two of the many applications of biophotonics that already had an enormous positive impact on our lives. Besides advancing the frontiers of medical technology, biophotonics is also being applied to non-medical applications. As the experts in the field attest, the promise of future developments in biophotonics is nothing short of extraordinary. Light and other forms of radiant energy can be used to image, analyze and manipulate living tissue at cellular and molecular level, in a noninvasive or minimally invasive manner. The region of the electromagnetic spectrum of interest comprises of wavelengths shorter than 1 mm.
