Abstract
A system for identifying and optionally treating biological material is provided. The system includes a coherent light source for irradiating the biological material and device for collecting light waves reflected from the biological material and transforming the light waves to nanoplasmonic waves. The system also includes a processing module for extracting phase and amplitude information from the nanoplasmonic waves to identify the biological material based on the phase and amplitude information.

A system for identifying biological material comprising:
- (a) a coherent light source for irradiating the biological material;
- (b) a device for collecting light waves reflected from the biological material and transforming said light waves to nanoplasmonic waves;
- and
- (c) a processing module for extracting phase and amplitude information from said nanoplasmonic waves and identify the biological material based on said phase and amplitude information.

A system for treating biological material comprising:
- (a) a light source for producing a coherent light beam;
- (b) a device for transforming said coherent light beam into nanoplasmonic waves;
- and projecting said nanoplasmonic waves onto the biological material thereby treating it.
A method of identifying biological material comprising:
- (a) irradiating the biological material with coherent light;
- (b) collecting light waves reflected from the biological material and transforming said light waves to nanoplasmonic waves;
- and
- (c) extracting phase and amplitude information from said nanoplasmonic waves and identifying the biological material based on said phase and amplitude information.
A system for treating tissue comprising:
- (a) a device for irradiating the tissue with an electromagnetic signal;
- and
- (b) a plurality of a nanoantenna particles each being linked to a chemical moiety targeted to the tissue and each being capable of undergoing plasmonic excitation when exposed to said electromagnetic signal.
