BiOS Expo Continues to Grow

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11, 2011 — Continuing its growth trend, the biomedical optics (BiOS) Expo at SPIE Photonics West is expected to be bigger than ever in 2012, with the number of exhibiting companies up 15 percent over last year. Technical topics will include enabling technologies for applications such as treatments for cancer, stroke, epilepsy and vision loss. Photonics West will be held Jan. 21-26 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco; BiOS, the largest of the event’s four symposia, will kick off the event on Saturday and Sunday (Jan. 21-22). The technical program will include nearly 1800 presentations on...Read full article

    Glossary
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
    optogenetics
    A discipline that combines optics and genetics to enable the use of light to stimulate and control cells in living tissue, typically neurons, which have been genetically modified to respond to light. Only the cells that have been modified to include light-sensitive proteins will be under control of the light. The ability to selectively target cells gives researchers precise control. Using light to control the excitation, inhibition and signaling pathways of specific cells or groups of...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
    tissue optics
    The study of the optical properties of living tissue. Increased understanding of the behavior of light in this varied, turbid medium, especially its scattering and absorption characteristics, is necessary to keep pace with the rapid development of medical applications of lasers.
