Smart materials can respond to stimuli and adapt their responses based on external cues
from their environments. Such behavior requires a way to transport energy efficiently and …

Ultrasound-mediated optical tomography (UOT) is a hybrid technique that is able to combine
the high penetration depth and high spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging to overcome …

Light focusing plays a central role in biomedical imaging, manipulation and therapy. In
scattering media, direct light focusing becomes infeasible beyond one transport mean free …

Raman spectroscopy and infrared (IR) spectroscopy are both techniques that allow for the
investigation of vibrating chemical particles. These techniques provide information not only …

Background One of the most important areas of Raman medical diagnostics is identification
and characterization of cancerous and noncancerous tissues. The methods based on …

Colorectal cancer constitutes 33% of all cancer morbidity, so the research of the new
methods for colorectal cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy monitoring is gaining its …

Acousto-optic (AO) is an emerging hybrid technique for measuring optical contrast in turbid
media using coherent light and ultrasound (US). A turbid object is illuminated with a …

The lack of efficient detection techniques has so far prevented ultrasound-modulated optical
tomography from achieving maturity. By applying a quantum spectral filter based on spectral …

Slow light has been extensively studied for applications ranging from optical delay lines to
single photon quantum storage. Here, we show that the time delay of slow-light significantly …

Breast cancer makes up a quarter of all cancer in women, which is why research into new
diagnostic methods and sample preparations need to be developed at an accelerated pace …
