Abstract :
Summary form only given. The Biophotonics field is an emerging biomedical technology that has opened up new horizons for extensive transfer of applicable state-of-the-art techniques coming from the area of quantum electronics, lasers and electro-optics to the life sciences and medicine. Recently, minimally invasive, cost-effective and rapid biophotonics techniques have been developed as potential alternatives to conventional medical methods for diagnostics, monitoring and treatment of a variety of diseases. IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics invites manuscript submissions in the area of biophotonics. The purpose of this issue of JSTQE is to highlight the recent progress and trends in developing of novel biophotonics technologies. Broad technical areas include advanced biophotonics diagnostic methods and systems, progress in minimally-invasive biophotonics therapeutic techniques, novel approaches in nanobiophotonics, development of novel laser, fiber-optic and electro-optic biophotonics tools and devices.
