1SEA Utilization of Advanced Infrared Sources for Biophysical Studies

Wed. Sep 28, 2022 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM Room E (Multi-purpose room B)

Organizers:Yuji Furutani(NITech),Hideji Murakoshi(NIPS)

共催:CREST「新たな光機能や光物性の発現・利活⽤を基軸とする次世代フォトニクスの基盤技術」

Infrared (IR) light has been widely utilized for analyzing molecular structure and interaction in biological and organic materials. Nowadays, new infrared light sources have been developed, such as ultrafast pulsed IR lasers, quantum cascade lasers, and fiber lasers. These lasers are applicable not only to vibrational spectroscopy on biological molecules but also to microscopic imaging of biological systems such as tissues and cells. Multi-photon microscopy is one of the most important applications, which can shed light on deep inside brains. In this symposium, we would like to discuss the possibility of new infrared light sources in biophysical studies.
