Biomedical optics has become one of the most inevitable field in the recent research in clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this course, we will learn about the fundamentals of biomedical optics, starting from how the photon interacts with a single atom, to a diatomic species, and then with polyatomic species such as haemoglobin. You will learn the basics of spectroscopy and different imaging modalities such as fluorescence, UV-Vis-NIR, diffuse optics, polarization, Speckle contrast, and multimodal imaging. You will also learn about fundamental and advances in the field of optical biosensors and various plasmonic resonances. IIITDM Kancheepuram will also discuss the principles and details along with demonstration of various microscopic imaging such as brightfield, phase contrast, fluorescence and polarization-based microscopy.

IIITDM Kancheepuram is an Institute of National Importance established by the Ministry of Education, Government of India to pursue design and manufacturing-oriented engineering education and research and to promote the competitive advantage of Indian products in global markets. The Institute offers B Tech, M Tech and M Des programmes and PhD programmes in Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Interdisciplinary Product Design, Mathematics, Physics and English.
