Main Laboratories and Facilities Equipment
6. INTERFEROMETRY AND TOMOGRAPHY LABORATORY
(6-014, Wonshik Choi)
This laboratory is developing interferometric techniques for probing biological structures and dynamics. New methods have been developed for extending low-coherence interferometry to examine the wavelength, angular, temporal and phase shift variations of light which interacts with a biological medium.
