About the Book:

Ultrafast Optical Science: Biology, Cancer Therapy, and DNA Damage Studies by P. Vasa explores the cutting-edge optical techniques that have revolutionized ultrafast science and opened new frontiers for understanding biological processes. This book provides an in-depth look at how contemporary optical methods—such as time-resolved imaging, multiphoton microscopy, and other advanced techniques—are being used to probe biological entities, study DNA damage, and even contribute to cancer therapy.

The text also delves into emerging interdisciplinary research at the interface of physics and biology, highlighting the impact of ultrafast optics on both fields. In addition to foundational techniques, Vasa discusses promising areas for future exploration, including squeezed light, frequency combs, and terahertz imaging, as well as the potential of mimicking biological systems through optical innovations.

Written to be accessible to a broad audience, this book is ideal for postgraduate students and researchers in biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, and related fields, particularly those working in optics, biomedical optics, photonics, and biotechnology. It presents the complex subject matter in a manner that is both informative and easy to grasp, making it a valuable resource for those looking to understand the exciting developments at the intersection of ultrafast science and biological research.
