Main Laboratories and Facilities Equipment
LOW COHERENCE INTERFEROMETRY LABORATORY
(6-014 & 6-033ca, Ramachandra R. Dasari)
This laboratory is developing interferometric techniques for probing biological structures and their dynamics. New interferometric methods have been developed to examine the wavelength, angular, temporal and phase shift variations of light which interacts with a biological medium.
