2021 ANNUAL REPORT | Bar-Ilan Institute of Nanotechnology & Advanced Materials

76 Prof. Fixler Dror Faculty of Engineering Director of BINA Nano Photonics Center Research Areas • Fluorescence lifetime and anisotropy decay • Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) • Biological imaging based on fluorescence parameters • Super resolution • Light-tissue interaction Abstract Nano photonics, Fluorescence Imaging and Microscopy Research Fixler’s lab deals with theoretical and practical models for reconstructing the optical properties of participating media by nano photonic tools. Our theory is based on a robust generalization of the diffusion theory; Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm; dipole-dipole approximation and other methods. On the practical side we use lasers, LEDs and microscopes. Diffusion reflectance method combined with targeted gold nanorod contrast agents distinguishing with high specificity between the healthy and the abnormal sites in the tissue.
