In the tradition of the Biomedical Photonics Handbook, the second edition is intended to serve as an
authoritative reference source for a broad audience involved in the research, teaching, learning, and
practice of medical technologies. Biomedical photonics is defined as the science that harnesses light and
other forms of radiant energy to provide the solution of problems arising in medicine and biology. This
research field has recently experienced an explosive growth due to its noninvasive or minimally invasive
nature and the cost-effectiveness of photonic modalities in medical diagnostics and therapy.
The field of biomedical photonics did not emerge as a well-defined, single research discipline like
chemistry, physics, or biology. Its development and growth have been shaped by the convergence of
three scientific and technological revolutions of the twentieth century: the quantum theory revolution,
the technology revolution, and the genomics revolution.
The quantum theory of atomic phenomena provides a fundamental framework for molecular bio
logy and genetics because of its unique understanding of electrons, atoms, molecules, and light itself.
Out of this new scientific framework emerged the discovery of the structure of DNA, the molecular
nature of cell machinery, and the genetic cause of diseases, all of which form the basis of molecular
medicine. The formulation of quantum theory not only gave birth to the field of molecular spectros-
copy but also led to the development of a powerful set of photonics tools—lasers, scanning tunneling
microscopes, and near-field nanoprobes—for exploring nature and understanding the cause of disease
at the fundamental level.
Advances in technology also played, and continue to play, an essential role in the development of
biomedical photonics. The invention of the laser was an important milestone. Laser is now the light
source most widely used to excite tissues for disease diagnosis as well as to irradiate tumors for tissue
removal in interventional surgery (optical scalpels). The microchip is another important technological
development that has significantly accelerated the evolution of biomedical photonics. While the laser
has provided a new technology for excitation, the miniaturization and mass production of integrated
circuits, sensor devices, and their associated electronic circuitry made possible the development of the
microchip, which has radically transformed the ways detection and imaging of molecules, tissues, and
organs can be performed in vivo and ex vivo. Recently, nanotechnology, which involves research on
materials and species at length scales between 1 and 100 nm, has been revolutionizing important areas
in biomedical photonics, especially diagnostics and therapy at the molecular and cellular level. The
combination of photonics and nanotechnology has already led to a new generation of devices for prob-
ing the cell machinery and elucidating intimate life processes occurring at the molecular level that were
heretofore invisible to human inquiry. This will open the possibility of detecting and manipulating
atoms and molecules using nanodevices, which have the potential for a wide variety of medical uses at
the cellular level. The marriage of electronics, biomaterials, and photonics is expected to revolutionize
many areas of medicine in the twenty-first century.

x Preface
A wide variety of biomedical photonic technologies have already been developed for clinical moni-
toring of early disease states or physiological parameters such as blood pressure, blood chemistry, pH,
temperature, and the presence of pathological organisms or biochemical species of clinical importance.
Advanced optical concepts using various spectroscopic modalities (e.g., fluorescence, scattering, reflec-
tion, and optical coherence tomography) are emerging in the important area of functional imaging.
Many photonic technologies originally developed for other applications (e.g., lasers and sensor systems
in defense, energy, and aerospace) have now found important uses in medical applications. From the
brain to the sinuses to the abdomen, precision navigation and tracking techniques are critical to posi-
tion medical instruments precisely within the three-dimensional surgical space. For instance, optical
stereotactic systems are being developed for brain surgery, and flexible micronavigation devices are
being engineered for medical laser ablation treatments.
With the completion of the sequencing of the human genome, one of the greatest impacts of genomics
and proteomics is the establishment of an entirely new approach to biomedical research. With whole-
genome sequences and new automated, high-throughput systems, photonic technologies such as bio-
chips and microarrays can address biological and medical problems systematically and on a large scale
in a massively parallel manner. They provide the tools to study how tens of thousands of genes and
proteins work together in interconnected networks to orchestrate the chemistry of life. Specific genes
have been deciphered and linked to numerous diseases and disorders, including breast cancer, muscle
disease, deafness, and blindness. Furthermore, advanced biophotonics has contributed dramatically to
the field of diagnostics, therapy, and drug discovery in the postgenomic area. Genomics and proteomics
present the drug discovery community with a wealth of new potential targets. Biomedical photonics
can provide tools capable of identifying specific subsets of genes encoded within the human genome
that can cause the development of diseases. Photonic techniques based on molecular probes are being
developed to identify the molecular alterations that distinguish a diseased cell from a normal cell. Such
technologies will ultimately aid in characterizing and predicting the pathologic behavior of that dis-
eased cell, as well as the cell’s responsiveness to drug treatment. Information from the human genome
project will one day make personal, molecular medicine an exciting reality.
The second edition of this handbook is intended to present the most recent scientific and techno-
logical advances in biomedical photonics, as well as their practical applications, in a single source. The
three-volume handbook represents the collective work of over 150 scientists, engineers, and clinicians.
It includes many new topics and chapters such as fiber-optics probes design, laser and optical radiation
safety, photothermal detection, multidimensional fluorescence imaging, surface plasmon resonance
imaging, molecular contrast optical coherence tomography, multiscale photoacoustics, polarized light
for medical diagnostics, quantitative diffuse reflectance imaging, interferometric light scattering, non-
linear interferometric vibrational imaging, nanoscintillator-based therapy, SERS molecular sentinel
nanoprobes, and plasmonic coupling interference nanoprobes.
The three-volume handbook includes 71 chapters grouped in 8 sections:
1. Volume I: Biomedical Photonics Handbook, Second Edition: Fundamentals, Devices, and Techniques
2. Volume II: Biomedical Photonics Handbook, Second Edition: Biomedical Diagnostics
3. Volume III: Biomedical Photonics Handbook, Second Edition: Therapeutics and Advanced Biophotonics
In Volume I, Section I (Photonics and Tissue Optics) contains introductory chapters on the funda-
mental optical properties of tissue, light–tissue interactions, and theoretical models for optical imaging.
Section II (Basic Photonic Instrumentation and Use) deals with basic instrumentation and hardware
systems and contains chapters on lasers and excitation sources, basic optical instrumentation, optical
fibers, probe designs, laser use, and optical radiation safety. Section III (Photonic Detection and Imaging
Techniques) deals with methodologies and contains chapters on various detection techniques and sys-
tems (such as lifetime imaging, microscopy, two-photon detection, photothermal detection, interferom-
etry, Doppler imaging, light scattering, and thermal imaging). Finally, Section IV (Spectroscopic Data)
