Biophotonics is a Breakthrough Tool and should become a Mainstream Technology
Biophotonics is a multidisciplinary category of photonics that includes the fusion of photonics and biomedical sciences. It is the science of generating and harnessing photons or light to detect, image, and manipulate biological materials. It stimulates the blood cells so that they produce energy and oxygen, which are needed by the body, in order to make proteins. Some examples of diseases where this technology has been applied are neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease, and Alzheimer's. Other diseases include AIDS patients and cancer patients.
There are
several forms of Biophotonics for therapeutic use, although the most popular form
of these technologies is the method of Photovoltaic Cells (PV) technology. This
technology allows for the generation of electricity when light interacts with a
semiconductor material called PV. Since the PV has a semiconductor material as
an electrode, it can be used with a variety of photovoltaic cells - silicon,
gallium arsenide, or indium gallium zinc. Another form of this technology is
called Laser Therapy, and it can be used to kill tumor cells or to cure cancer,
but there are also other ways to do this.
Ophthalmic
diagnostics equipment is a type of biophotonics. It is used to diagnose and
treat eye problems. A variety of ultrasound techniques are used to examine the
eye and its supporting structures, such as the retina and cornea. Generally,
ophthalmic diagnostics equipment uses high-powered sound waves or ultrasound
machines. When used to diagnose eye problems, these instruments may be used
with or without an operator who is able to interpret the data obtained from the
images. A person who has trained in using these instruments can use them to aid
in diagnosing and treating a range of conditions. Major research and
development activities are being undertaken in many countries including Japan,
Germany, and Mexico. For instance, the 30th International Conference on
Insights in Ophthalmology in June 2021 at Berlin, Germany.
