COHERENT-DOMAIN OPTICAL METHODS
Biomedical Diagnostics, Environmental and
Material Science
Volume 1
Preface
This book is about laser and coherent-domain methods designed for
biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring and materials inspection.
The appearance of the book was stimulated by a recent rapid progress in
novel photonics technologies, on the basis of diode lasers, broadband
femtosecond lasers (Ti:Sapphire or Cr:Försterite), light-emitting diodes
(LEDs), and Superluminescence diodes (SLDs). Such technologies are
applicable in many fields, in particular for biomedical, environmental and
material diagnostics and monitoring. The main reason which has prompted
me to edit the book is my many years co-chairing of the Conference on
Coherent-Domain Optical Methods in Biomedical Science and Clinical
Applications (SPIE Photonics West Symposia, San Jose, USA) together with
Joseph Izatt and James Fujimoto and intensive work of my research group in
collaboration with many leading research groups all over the world in the
field of coherent optics of scattering objects in application to biomedicine
and material inspection, and therefore, understanding that I can invite worldknown
experts to write the book.
The problem of light interaction with scattering media, including
biological tissues, is of great interest for medicine, environmental studies
and industry, and therefore is often discussed in monographic literature. Last
ten years a number of books, handbooks, and tutorials were published (see,
for example [1-15]). The present book is genetically linked with the
mentioned literature. However, the book has some important specific
features making it different from other books. In particular, for the first time
in one book a variety of coherent-domain optical methods are discussed in
the framework of various applications, which are characterized by a strong
light scattering. A reader has an opportunity to learn fundamentals of light
interaction with random media and to get an overview on basic research
containing the update results on coherent and polarization properties of light
scattered by random media, including tissues and blood, on speckles
formation in multiple scattering media and other non-destructive interactions
of coherent light with rough surfaces and tissues, which allow a reader to
understand principles of coherent diagnostics techniques presented in many
other chapters of the book.
