The use of optical and photonics technologies is an exciting and rapidly emerging research area, especially in the fields of clinical applications. This topical collection aims to highlight the latest developments in emerging biophotonics technologies for biomedical and clinical applications. The topics covered include state-of-the-art research and cutting-edge techniques, but are not limited to: optical and photonic techniques for diagnosis and therapeutic applications; bio-information analysis on the interaction between laser optics and cell biology or medicine; fundamental technologies used in biophotonics. The scope spans across (1) complex beam modulation for illumination or therapy, such as structured light; (2) advanced sensing or imaging methods for data acquisition, including microscopic/multimodal imaging techniques; (3) novel information processing or analysis approaches, for instance, the use of machine learning or artificial intelligence. This collection also aims to bring together scientists, clinical researchers, and engineers from a variety of disciplines engaged in using optical and photonics technologies for medical and clinical applications.
