Abstract
Light-tissue interactions are fundamental to understanding and working with biomedical optics. The turbidity and heterogeneity of biological tissues impact their interactions with light. Light carries energy and can impact biological tissues, depending on the wavelength of light used. In biomedical optics, the impacts of light and tissues on each other are exploited for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and other physiological conditions.
