Biophotonics
The Fresnel equations describe how light behaves at the interface between two different media, providing the reflection and transmission coefficients for electromagnetic waves. These equations are crucial for understanding phenomena such as surface plasmon resonance, where light interacts with surface plasmons at the boundary between a metal and a dielectric, making them essential for the development of plasmonic biosensors that exploit these interactions for sensing applications.
