The discovery of the Raman effect in 1928 not only aided fundamental understanding about
the quantum nature of light and matter but also opened up a completely novel area of optics …

Emerging fluorescence and bioluminescence tomography approaches have several
common, yet several distinct features from established emission tomographies of PET and …

Fluorescence imaging is one of the most versatile and widely used visualization methods in
biomedical research. However, tissue autofluorescence is a major obstacle confounding …

Design of nanoparticles for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) within suspensions
is more involved than simply maximizing the local field enhancement. The enhancement at …

Purpose The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the most investigated optical
diagnostic techniques: optical coherence tomography, fluorescence spectrometry …

We present a new type of compressive spectroscopy technique employing a liquid crystal
(LC) phase retarder. A tunable LC cell is used in a manner compliant with the compressive …

Traditional methods of screening for oral potentially malignant disorders and oral
malignancies involve a conventional oral examination with digital palpation. Evidence …

Supramolecular assemblies of a quantum dot (QD) associated to palladium (II) porphyrins
have been developed to detect oxygen (pO2) in organic solvents. Palladium porphyrins are …

Boronic acid-substituted shapeshifting bullvalenes bearing a 13C label are employed as
sensor arrays for polyhydroxylated compounds, such as carbohydrates, flavanols, and sialic …

The absence of sufficient reliable methods for early detection of cancers requires a search
for new and more effective techniques for screening and prevention. The discovery and …
