Research group no. 3

Physical Optics and Biophotonics Group

Group leader

prof. dr hab. Maciej Wojtkowski

Research topics

The main research expertise of the group focuses on the fundamental physical aspects of optical imaging, the development of novel optical imaging methods and demonstration of their applications to biology and medicine. The core competence of POB is in the comprehensive development of new optical methods combining low coherence interferometry, advanced spectroscopy and fluorescence. This expertise includes ability of fundamental – physical description of methods; designing, construction, and optimization of ergonomic set-ups; development of novel data processing and data acquisition software tools.
