Introduction

摘要

The conference "Optical Biopsy Ⅻ," part of the SPIE Photonics West BiOS symposium, was held on February 4-5, 2014 in San Francisco. The conference consisted of seven oral sessions and hosted 33 papers with 21 of these from international contributions and four posters. In addition, the program included a special session entitled "45 Years of Supercontinuum Generation" consisting of seven invited presentations by world experts and pioneers to give an overview on the field of supercontinuum. The new non planar twisted form of light with orbital angular momentum and polarization was reviewed. We hypothesize that this method may provide a new tool for probing the structure and status of tissues. The slides from the "Ultimate ultrafast white light's first observations: early discovery circa 1970" presentation can be found in this volume.
