Abstract

A microscopy system, including: a mode-locked fiber laser (110) configured to output a pulse having a center wavelength; a nonlinear waveguide (120) configured to shift the wavelength of the pulse from the mode-locked fiber laser; a fiber amplifier (130) configured to amplify the output from the first nonlinear waveguide; a second-harmonic generator (140) configured to generate femtosecond pulses at twice the optical frequency from the output of the fiber amplifier; and an imaging system (150).

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application 61 / 924,629, filed January 7, 2014, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to nonlinear imaging, in particular to the field of microscopy applications. Background technique [0004] Nonlinear imaging, especially two-photon imaging systems, is the workhouse in today's medical and life science laboratories. [0005] A nonlinear imaging system consists of one or more excitation and detection beam paths and a processing unit. The excitation beam path consists of the laser, the optics to form the beam (i.e. beam expander), the 2D scanning unit, and a set of optics for relaying the beam onto the back aperture of the objective lens. Microscope objectives focus the beam of light onto the sample. The scanning unit is used to create a two-dimensional scanning pattern on the sample to illumi...
