*Shunichi Sato¹ (1. National Defense Medical College Research Institute, Japan)

In this paper, we describe some important applications of biophotonics to defense/military medicine. Light or laser is a unique physical energy that is least invasive and enables versatile interactions with living tissue and cells. There would be many other potential applications not only for medicine in peacetime but also for medicine in emergency situations.
