Linear systems and the Fourier transform in optics

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There is no question that while physicists devoted the 20th century to the study of the outer universe, the focus of the 21st century will be the inner workings of our organism - over multiple spatiotemporal scales - in an effort to cure disease and improve human life. It is expected that optical investigations will continue to play a major role in tackling unanswered questions regarding the structure and function of cells and tissues in health and disease.

Principles of Biophotonics: Linear systems and the Fourier transform in optics aims to teach students, instructors and professionals the basis of optical techniques for biomedical investigation. It is a book for experimentalists who are active at the interface between biology, medicine and optics (i.e. biological optics, biomedical optics and biophotonics), and it presents the unifying optics principles employed in this broad and interdisciplinary field. With the format of a classical textbook, this work contains the underlying theory of biological optics and applications to real laboratory problems via exercises and homework. While maintaining mathematical rigor, the theory is presented with emphasis on the physical phenomena, and heavy use of the linear systems approach and frequency domain representation. The text stresses the similarity between various techniques, thus reducing the number of governing concepts as much as possible.
