About the Authors
Leonid V. Tanin Academician of the International
Academy of Engineering, Doctor of physical and
mathematical sciences, honored Inventor of the
Republic of Belarus, Chairman of the Board of
Directors of CJSC HOLOGRAPHY INDUSTRY.
In 1971, he graduated from Physical Department of
State Leningrad University (Department of Optics
and Spectroscopy), in 1974—postgraduate course
of Leningrad Physical and Technical Institute of
A. F. Ioffe of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR
(Sector of Plasma Optics). In 1978, he created a
scientific group “Coherent-optical studies of medical
and biological systems” in the Research Institute of
Neurology, Neurosurgery and Physiotherapy of the
Ministry of Health of the BSSR, and he was in charge
of it more than 20 years. He is one of the founders of a
future-oriented field in science–biomedical optics. He
developed the basis of speckle-optical diagnostics and
laser hemotherapy in the treatment of diseases of
peripheral and central nervous systems, he created the
diagnostic device “Laser specklometer” that does not
have analogs in the whole world, for the study of
biomechanical activity of muscles and surface blood
flow. In 2012 for the monograph Biomedical and
Resonant Optics: Theory and Practice, Leonid
V. Tanin and Andrei L. Tanin were awarded the
First Prize named after Yu. I. Ostrovsky “For the best
scientific work in the field of optical holography and
interferometry” of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
In 2014, He successfully defended his doctoral
thesis on the topic “Resonant holographic and
