Medical Molecular Photonics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A photonics lab that brings the “visualization” of light into medicine.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeing is believing: using light to see the unseen.
The Medical Molecular Photonics Lab studies photonics, pursuing “visualization” through the science of light.
The lab builds its own lasers and optical frequency comb light sources and explores new interactions between light and matter.
It also conducts research that applies these results to other fields, mainly medicine and biology.
The lab's motto is “Seeing is believing.”
Key terms
- Photonics
- The field that studies the properties of light and creates technologies based on it. This lab is expanding it into medicine.
- Optical frequency comb
- Light made up of evenly spaced frequencies, like the teeth of a comb. Here, it is built as a light source.
- Visualization
- Turning invisible phenomena into a form that can be checked with the eyes. It also serves as a way to verify whether a theory is correct.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts fundamental research, such as building its own lasers and optical frequency comb light sources and exploring new interactions between light and matter, as well as research that applies these results to other fields such as medicine and biology. The core of its research is making phenomena visible in order to discern their essence.
