Biophotonics is an interdisciplinary research field that integrates photonics – the science and technology of light generation, manipulation, and detection – with biology to investigate, image, and manipulate biological materials, systems, and processes. Utilizing optical techniques such as advanced microscopy, spectroscopy, and optical sensing, it enables non-invasive or minimally invasive analysis, high-resolution imaging, and real-time monitoring of biological phenomena, offering significant advancements in diagnostics, therapeutics, and fundamental biological understanding.
