	abstract = {Optical fiber technology has significantly bolstered the growth of
photonics applications in basic life sciences research and in biomedical
diagnosis, therapy, monitoring, and surgery. The unique operational
characteristics of diverse fibers have been exploited to realize advanced
biomedical functions in areas such as illumination, imaging, minimally
invasive surgery, tissue ablation, biological sensing, and tissue
diagnosis. This review paper provides the necessary background to
understand how optical fibers function, to describe the various categories
of available fibers, and to illustrate how specific fibers are used for
selected biomedical photonics applications. Research articles and vendor
data sheets were consulted to describe the operational characteristics of
conventional and specialty multimode and single-mode solid-core fibers,
double-clad fibers, hard-clad silica fibers, conventional hollow-core
fibers, photonic crystal fibers, polymer optical fibers, side-emitting and
side-firing fibers, middle-infrared fibers, and optical fiber bundles.
Representative applications from the recent literature illustrate how
various fibers can be utilized in a wide range of biomedical disciplines.
In addition to helping researchers refine current experimental setups, the
material in this review paper will help conceptualize and develop emerging
optical fiber-based diagnostic and analysis tools.},
