Advanced optical systems through flat optics for biomedical applications

Optical imaging techniques are the most commonly used methods in biology and medical research. Nano-photonics, the emerging optical techniques, with unique optical capabilities to manipulate the basic characteristics of light have recnetly received a significant amount of interest in the field of optical microscopy and endoscopy. This talk will introduce the latest studies on the biomedical use of structured light, as well as metasurfaces. In addition, structured light plays vital roles to enhance resolution. The following are the topics that will be covered: optical microscopy, light sheet microscopy, optical endoscopy, and deep learning. This talk will also discuss the technological challenges presently encountered with metasurface from the point of view of preclinical and clinical systems.
