Introduction

Photonics and optical technologies are becoming increasingly important in health care and medicine, environment and energy, manufacturing, information systems and communications, display, defense and aerospace, entertainment, etc. China is an important market for the global optics and photonics industries. Photonics Asia intends to be the must-attend event for the global photonics community who need to keep up with what is happening in Asia optics and photonics industry, especially the dynamic Chinese optics and photonics industry, and develop new partnerships and new markets. It will provide a unique forum for the reporting and review of new developments in photonics and optoelectronics ranging from material and devices to advanced systems and applications. Cutting-edge technologies, applications, product announcement and demonstration, market analysis and investment opportunities will be discussed in various conference sections and products exhibition. Photonics Asia will include a plenary session, parallel technical sessions, panel discussions, and product exhibition. Various exciting social programs are also planned. You are encouraged to submit your abstract and paper summary to the following conferences and related topics. All accepted papers (oral or poster) will be published in SPIE Proceedings reviewed by Photonics Asia 2010 conference chairs and program committees.

During the last decade there have been significant scientific developments in diagnosis, treatment and health care using lasers and optical technology. Optical methods are generally noninvasive and sensitive to unique tissue contrast (absorption, scattering, birefringence, fluorescence, and nonlinear signal generation etc) that complements other biomedical diagnostic technologies. Optically based instruments/devices can be extremely compact and cost effective, suitable for home, clinic and global health care. The field of biomedical photonics is highly multidisciplinary and has been attracting more and more researchers from physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, nanotechnology and many other disciplines. The past few years have also witnessed the integration of biomedical photonics with other technologies, such as optics-acoustics, optics-molecular and nano-techniques, optics and MRI, and optics and positron emission tomography (PET). Clinical applications of emerging biomedical photonics technologies span many areas including ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology, gastroenterology, dentistry, urology, and neurology etc. The objective of this conference is to provide a technical forum for engineers, scientists, clinicians, and health care industry and government agencies to report, share and learn the latest fundamental, translational and clinical research and developments in the field of biomedical optics, and promote crossdisciplinary, institutional and international collaborations. The topics of this conference are broad and will cover (but not limited to) the following:

􀁺 Tissue Optics, Laser-Tissue Interaction (optical interactions with tissue and cells, fundamental theory of diagnosis and therapy)

􀁺 Photon Therapeutics (Photo dynamic therapy, low-level red light therapy, laser surgery and other photon therapy)

􀁺 Biomedical Spectroscopy, Microscopy and Imaging (Single molecule spectroscopy,

fluorescence imaging, Multiphoton Microscopy, Multidimensional Microscopy)

􀁺 Advanced optical techniques for clinical medicine (diagnosis devices, implantable devices, care devices etc)

􀁺 Multimodal biomedical imaging (photo-acoustic imaging, optical-MRI, optical PET etc)

􀁺 Nano/Biophotonics (Nano scale imaging, nano-particles and molecular probes for

biomedical applications)
