Biophotonics: Spectroscopy, Imaging, Sensing,
and Manipulation
NATO Science for Peace and Security Series
This Series presents the results of scientific meetings supported under the NATO Programme:
Science for Peace and Security (SPS).
The NATO SPS Programme supports meetings in the following Key Priority areas:
(1) Defence Against Terrorism; (2) Countering other Threats to Security and (3) NATO,
Partner and Mediterranean Dialogue Country Priorities. The types of meeting supported are
generally "Advanced Study Institutes" and "Advanced Research Workshops". The NATO SPS
Series collects together the results of these meetings. The meetings are co-organized by
scientists from NATO countries and scientists from NATO's "Partner" or "Mediterranean
Dialogue" countries. The observations and recommendations made at the meetings, as well
as the contents of the volumes in the Series, reflect those of parti-cipants and contributors
only; they should not necessarily be regarded as reflecting NATO views or policy.
Advanced Study Institutes (ASI) are high-level tutorial courses intended to convey the latest
developments in a subject to an advanced-level audience
Advanced Research Workshops (ARW) are expert meetings where an intense but informal
exchange of views at the frontiers of a subject aims at identifying directions for future action
Following a transformation of the programme in 2006 the Series has been re-named and re-
organised. Recent volumes on topics not related to security, which result from meetings
supported under the programme earlier, may be found in the NATO Science Series.
The Series is published by IOS Press, Amsterdam, and Springer, Dordrecht, in conjunction with
the NATO Public Diplomacy Division.
