BE-GY 6303 Bio-optics

3 Credits
Recent growth in using optics technology for biomedical research and health care has been explosive. New applications are made possible by emerging technologies in lasers, optoelectronic devices, fiber optics, physical and chemical sensors and imaging—all of which are now applied to medical research, diagnostics and therapy. This sequence course on optics for biomedical students combines fundamental knowledge of the generation and interaction of electromagnetic waves with applications to the biomedical field. The goal is for this approach is to provide tools for researchers in bio-physics and to familiarize researchers, technologists and premed students with cutting-edge approaches.

Prerequisite(s): An undergraduate course in physics that includes electricity, magnetism and waves such as PH-UY 2023  and an undergraduate course in physics that includes electricity, magnetism and waves such as PH-UY 2023  and multivariable calculus such as MA-UY 2122  and MA-UY 2122 .
