Lehrinhalte
Review of the fundamentals of optics, laser technology, light-matter interaction, and spectroscopic systems, covering medical applications such as photodynamic therapy and optical heart rate measurement etc.; spectroscopy and imaging with linear optical processes: IR absorption, Raman spectroscopy, with applications e.g. in breath analysis, drug quality control, as well as detection of biomarkers; laser microscopy, e.g. wide-field microscopy, Raman microscopy and chemical imaging, fluorescence microscopy, with applications e.g. in neurostimulation research; spectroscopy and imaging with nonlinear optical processes: fundamentals of nonlinear optics, multiphoton fluorescence, e.g., with application for in vivo imaging of the brain, coherent nonlinear optical processes such as SHG and CARS, multimodal imaging, e.g. with potential application in intra-operative tumor imaging.
