Abstract
Resonant vibrational
spectroscopy and imaging with Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering technique
will be discussed in the light of its bio-physics and bio-medical applications.
Different experimental realizations of CARS microscopy for label-free,
high-speed imaging have been applied, for example, to demonstrate organelle
trafficking in living cells and nonlinear optical tissue imaging. Future
research directions in laser based nonlinear optical imaging techniques and its
applications in biophysics and bioengineering will be outlined as well.
Refreshments will be served in the Physics Library at 3:30pm, Room 108
Science Hall.
