BE 6303 - Bio-optics

Institution:

Polytechnic Institute of New York University

Subject:

Description:

Recent growth in the use of optics technology for biomedical research and health care has been explosive. New applications are made possible by emerging technologies in lasers, optoelectronic devices, fiber optics, physical and chemical sensors and imagingall of which are being applied to medical research, diagnostics, and therapy. This sequence course on optics for biomedical students combines fundamental knowledge of the generation and interaction of electromagnetic waves with applications to the biomedical field. It is hoped that this approach will not only provide tools for researchers in bio-physics, but also familiarize researchers, technologists and premed students with cutting- edge approaches. Prerequisite: an undergraduate course in physics that includes electricity, magnetism and waves such as PH 2004. Multivariable Calculus CMA 2112, MA 2122.
