摘      要：Biophotonics is not a standard word listed in a classical dictionary. The meaning of biophotonics is essentially the use of photonic technologies to detect and perhaps to control a biological phenomenon or event, at different levels ranging from molecules, cells, tissue, organisms, to intact animals and even human bodies(Yeh and Krishnan, 2018). The field of biophotonics is not well defined because it is a multidisciplinary research field at the intersection of physics,biology, chemistry, medicine and engineering(Tsia, 2016;Vo-Dinh, 2014;Wang and Tuchin, 2016). As alternatives to biophotonics, the term biomedical photonics and biomedical optics have also been popularly used, with no exact distinction among them(Vo-Dinh, 2014).
