Four major technologies ? lasers, photonics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology ? are integrated into biophotonics, placing it at the intersection of physical, biological, and engineering sciences. Introduction to Biophotonics provides a much-needed primer on this emerging discipline.

Paras Prasad?s text provides a basic knowledge of a broad range of topics so that individuals in all disciplines can rapidly acquire the minimal necessary background for research and development in biophotonics.
