Infrared and terahertz in biomedicine
Journal Title: Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics and Optoelectronics - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 3
Abstract
A number of potential advances of infrared and terahertz technologies in application mainly to biomedicine is shortly discussed. In spite of the fact that there are a number well established imaging and spectroscopic techniques in application to biomedicine there exists some problems where IR and THz technologies are the challenging technologies that can provide information not available from other techniques. E.g., they can be applied in the cases where there is a need of improving the surgical removal of cancer, strictly locating tumor margins when conservation of normal tissue is needed.

Van der Waals interaction between surface and particle with giant polarizability
We show that a nanoparticle with a “giant” polarizability (i.e., with the polarizability volume significantly exceeding the particle volume) placed in the vicinity of a surface experiences a strongly increased van der Wa...
Enhancing sensitivity of SPR sensors by using nanostructured Au chips coated with functional plasma polymer nanofilms
The sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors operating in the Kretschmann configuration was investigated using Au SPR chips with a nano-grating surface functionalized via deposition of a-C:H:O plasma polyme...
