Foreword I
The UN proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies, emphasizing achievements in the optical sciences and their importance to humankind. Light in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectral region is a fundamental tool of human inquiry. This miniscule region of the vast electromagnetic spectrum is the only one that provides molecular information directly. Because molecules are the building blocks of life, the importance of light in the life sciences and med
