Seminar: "Spectral Imaging using Volume Bragg Grating: from Astronomy to Cancer Research" by Dr. Sebastian Blais-Ouellette
Wednesday, May 14, 2014 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM
CREOL Room A214

Dr. Sebastian Blais-Ouellette
President of PhotonEtc Corporation (Montreal, Canada)

Abstract:
Using global spectral imaging, it is possible to rapidly get chemical composition and physical state of a plethora of extended objects, ranging from astronomical bodies to biological samples. The Volume Bragg Grating based Bragg Tunable Filter lately allowed interesting developments in material science and biological imaging. After reviewing the technology, applications will be presented, focusing mainly on fluorescence and Raman imaging of cells for cancer research and diagnostics.
