High Resolution Optical Imaging Enabled by Field Engineering - from Physics to Engineering

_^Abstract

Optical imaging has been playing important roles in modern physics and engineering. The unique capability of high resolution in both temporal and spatial dimensions make optical imaging technologies essential elements in various interdisciplinary researches. Many outstanding imaging technologies are developed based on the fusion of basic optical-physics mechanisms and engineering implementations. In this talk, the introduction to fundamental concepts enabling highly spatiotemporal resolution will be discussed, followed by the examples in engineering applications including novel fluorescence imaging, chemical imaging and super-resolution optical tomographic microscopy.

_^Biography

Prof. Shi received his Bachelor's and Master’s degree from Nankai University in 1998 and 2001 respectively. He received his Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University in 2007. Prof. Shi joined faculty members at Peking University in the Institute of Modern Optics in July 2011.
