This Handbook provides comprehensive coverage of laser and
coherent-domain methods as applied to biomedicine, environmental
monitoring, and materials science. Worldwide leaders in these
fields describe the fundamentals of light interaction with random
media and present an overview of basic research. The latest results
on coherent and polarization properties of light scattered by
random media, including tissues and blood, speckles formation in
multiple scattering media, and other non-destructive interactions
of coherent light with rough surfaces and tissues, allow the reader
to understand the principles and applications of coherent
diagnostic techniques. The expanded second edition has been
thoroughly updated with particular emphasis on novel
coherent-domain techniques and their applications in medicine and
environmental science. Volume 1 describes state-of-the-art methods
of coherent and polarization optical imaging, tomography and
spectroscopy; diffusion wave spectroscopy; elastic, quasi-elastic
and inelastic light scattering spectroscopy and imaging; digital
holographic microscopy, the Fourier transform light scattering
method, and coherent diffractive imaging; wavefront sensing,
aberration measurement and adaptive optics for ophthalmology; and
laser remote sensing. Volume 2 presents the new and growing field
of coherent optics in optical coherence tomography (OCT). Various
applications of OCT and confocal microscopy, including biomedical
endoscopy, are discussed. A special section covers Mueller matrix
polarimetry, nonlinear laser fluorescence spectroscopy, and
triplet-triplet annihilation assisted upconversion as optical tools
for probing the physical parameters of materials and natural
organic compounds.
