Biophotonics describes the intersection of light and biology.  This field is very broad, covering research from chip-based microscopy to optical biosensors. In the lab of Prof. Andrea Armani at the University of Southern California, we focus on the development and integration of optical devices for biological applications.  This includes using previously studied and characterized optical devices, such as waveguides, as well as developing novel optical structures.  Therefore, the Armani lab is both an optics lab and a biology lab.
