Abstract
Imaging for biological and biomedical applications is entering a new era of label-free detection to eliminate possible toxicity and photodamage to tissues and cells from the use of labels or powerful light sources. Brillouin imaging is gaining popularity as all-optical elastography technique with microscopic resolution for micromechanical characterisation of biomaterials. Additionally, imaging using nonclassical states of light, e.g. entangled photons, also growing in popularity as the means to improve spatial resolution or reach to the new frequency bands. In this presentation, I will talk about Brillouin and quantum imaging - the two imaging modalities developed in my lab with the focus on specific problems in biomedical field such as cancer diagnostics.
About Physics colloquium
The Physics Colloquium series hosts a range of speakers from Australia and abroad. The series explores a variety of topics and everyone is welcome to come along. The seminars are open so there is no need to register your attendance.
If you would like to sign up for colloquium announcement emails, you can join the mailing list by sending a blank email to:
