Biophotonics: the big picture.
Journal of biomedical optics, 2017Co-Authors: Laura Marcu, Stephen A. Boppart, Mark R. Hutchinson, Jürgen Popp, Brian C. WilsonAbstract:The 5th International Conference on Biophotonics (ICOB) held April 30 to May 1, 2017, in Fremantle, Western Australia, brought together opinion leaders to discuss future directions for the field and opportunities to consider. The first session of the conference, “How to Set a Big Picture Biophotonics Agenda,” was focused on setting the stage for developing a vision and strategies for translation and impact on society of biophotonic technologies. The invited speakers, panelists, and attendees engaged in discussions that focused on opportunities and promising applications for biophotonic techniques, challenges when working at the confluence of the physical and biological sciences, driving factors for advances of biophotonic technologies, and educational opportunities. We share a summary of the presentations and discussions. Three main themes from the conference are presented in this position paper that capture the current status, opportunities, challenges, and future directions of Biophotonics research and key areas of applications: (1) Biophotonics at the nano- to microscale level; (2) Biophotonics at meso- to macroscale level; and (3) Biophotonics and the clinical translation conundrum.

Coherent fiber supercontinuum for Biophotonics.
Laser & photonics reviews, 2012Co-Authors: Stephen A. BoppartAbstract:Biophotonics and nonlinear fiber optics have traditionally been two independent fields. Since the discovery of fiber-based supercontinuum generation in 1999, Biophotonics applications employing incoherent light have experienced a large impact from nonlinear fiber optics, primarily because of the access to a wide range of wavelengths and a uniform spatial profile afforded by fiber supercontinuum. However, Biophotonics applications employing coherent light have not benefited from the most well-known techniques of supercontinuum generation for reasons such as poor coherence (or high noise), insufficient controllability, and inadequate portability. Fortunately, a few key techniques involving nonlinear fiber optics and femtosecond laser development have emerged to overcome these critical limitations. Despite their relative independence, these techniques are the focus of this review, because they can be integrated into a low-cost portable Biophotonics source platform. This platform can be shared across many different areas of research in Biophotonics, enabling new applications such as point-of-care coherent optical biomedical imaging.

Biophotonics: Harnessing Light for Biology and Medicine
Biophotonics: Spectroscopy Imaging Sensing and Manipulation, 2010Co-Authors: Tymish Y Ohulchanskyy, Artem Pliss, Paras N PrasadAbstract:Biophotonics is a new multidisciplinary frontier which utilizes light–matter interactions for bioimaging, sensing diagnostics and light activated as well as optically tracked therapies. This article is focused on use of nonlinear optical processes for bio imaging as well as for light induced therapy. Examples illustrating recent achievements in these research fields are provided from our work at the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics. We present our progress in multimodal bioimaging using a combination of nonlinear optical phenomena such as two-photon induced fluorescence, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), second harmonic generation and sum frequency generation. Synergy of the techniques employing these phenomena in a multimodal imaging approach enables chemically selective imaging and probing of the local macro molecular content in biological specimens. We also provide examples of two-photon induced fluorescence microscopy and two-photon induced therapy using specially designed molecules and nanoparticles.

Polymer science and technology for new generation photonics and Biophotonics
Current Opinion in Solid State and Materials Science, 2004Co-Authors: Paras N PrasadAbstract:Polymeric materials hold considerable promise for photonics, the science and technology utilizing photons. They are also finding applications for nanophotonics, created by fusion of photonics and nanotechnology, and for Biophotonics, an emerging field that utilizes light for optical diagnostics as well as for light-guided and activated therapy. This article presents selected examples of applications of polymeric media for nanophotonics and Biophotonics. Merits of polymeric nanocomposites containing many nanosize constituents for manipulation of optical properties and introduction of multifunctionalities are described. Nanocomposites containing inorganic quantum dots dispersed in a polymer matrix exhibit increased photogeneration efficiency, broad spectrally tunable photoresponse, and enhanced carrier mobility, which are useful for many optoelectronic applications such as in broad band solar cells and photorefractivity. Polymer-dispersed liquid crystals containing quantum dots exhibit significantly large photorefractive figure of merits. Polymeric nanoparticles, in the form of nanoclinics, for photodynamic therapy is provided as an example of Biophotonics applications.
