The main goal of the School is to involve junior researches and students in the field of recent developments and applications of laser and optical technologies in medicine and biology, coherent optics of random and ordered media, material and environmental sciences, nonlinear dynamics of laser systems, laser spectroscopy and molecular modeling, nanophotonics and nanobiophotonics. The main attention will be paid to discussion of fundamentals and general approaches of description of coherent, low-coherent, polarized, spatially and temporally modulated light interactions with inhomogeneous scattering media, photonic crystals, nanoparticles, tissue phantoms, and various types of tissues in vitro and in vivo. Such effects as static and dynamic light scattering, Doppler effect, Raman scattering, SERS, CARS, SHG, multiphoton fluorescence, optoacoustic and optothermal interactions, mechanical stress, photodynamic effect, etc will be considered. On this basis, the variety of laser and optical technologies for medical diagnostics, therapy, surgery, and light dosimetry, as well as for spectroscopy of random and ordered tissue will be presented. SFM-18 will be organized as the Short Courses, morning plenary sessions, afternoon lecture and oral sessions, and evening poster presentations. The original oral reports and posters will be presented by the junior scientists and students. Plenary lectures will be presented by well-recognized experts in the field.
The Conference fee
- For foreign participants the conference fee is $ 200 (lunches, barbecue, Volga-river voyage, and light refreshments), may be paid during the Meeting or transferred to the account number for request. For Russian participants the Conference fee will depend on financial support from sponsoring organizations.
