Semester spring semester 2024
Course frequency Every spring sem.
Lecturers Ferda Canbaz (ferda.canbaz@unibas.ch, Assessor)
Arsham Hamidi (arsham.hamidi@unibas.ch)
Content Introduction:
Nature of light, fundamentals of light-matter interactions, photobiology, photophysics, photochemistry, laser and light sources.

Light-Tissue Interactions:
Photochemical interaction, biostimulation, photo-thermal effects, photoablation, plasma-induced ablation, photo-acoustic effects, photon transport

Spectroscopy:
Absorption, diffuse reflectance, fluorescence, Raman and tissue spectroscopy

Bioimaging Principles and Techniques:
Introduction to optical microscopy, principle of image formation, amplitude and phase microscopy, polarization, fluorescence and confocal microscopy, optical diffraction tomography and new microscopic techniques.

3D Bioimaging:
Optical coherence tomography, polarimetry, diffuse optical tomography, photothermal imaging, photoacoustic imaging and optical biopsy.
Learning objectives Students will learn the characteristics of light and lasers, laser-tissue interaction mechanisms, imaging conditions, and basics of 2D and 3D imaging modalities.
With practical exercises, students will operate lasers and collect OCT images.
