Multi-photon laser microscopy

A laser scanning microscope produces molecular excitation in a target material by simultaneous absorption of three or more photons to thereby provide intrinsic three-dimensional resolution. Fluorophores having single photon absorption in the short (ultraviolet or visible) wavelength range are excited by a beam of strongly focused subpicosecond pulses of laser light of relatively long (red or infrared) wavelength range. The fluorophores absorb at about one third, one fourth or even smaller fraction of the laser wavelength to produce fluorescent images of living cells and other microscopic objects. The fluorescent emission from the fluorophores increases cubicly, quarticly or even higher power law with the excitation intensity so that by focusing the laser light, fluorescence as well as photobleaching are confined to the vicinity of the focal plane. This feature provides depth of field resolution comparable to that produced by confocal laser scanning microscopes, and in addition reduces photobleaching and phototoxicity. Scanning of the laser beam by a laser scanning microscope, allows construction of images by collecting multi-photon excited fluorescence from each point in the scanned object while still satisfying the requirement for very high excitation intensity obtained by focusing the laser beam and by pulse time compressing the beam. The focused pulses also provide three-dimensional spatially resolved photochemistry which is particularly useful in photolytic release of caged effector molecules, marking a recording medium or in laser ablation or microsurgery. This invention refers explicitly to extensions of two-photon excitation where more than two photons are absorbed per excitation in this nonlinear microscopy.

Apparatus and method for forming three-dimensional objects using two-photon absorption linear solidification

An apparatus and method for making a three-dimensional object from a solidifiable material using two photon absorption is described. The use of two photon absorption allows for the creation of a non-solidification zone beneath the exposed surface of a solidifiable material so that no separation is required between the most recently solidified layer of the object and a substrate such as a glass, a film, or a glass / film combination. In addition, when used with a linear scanning device, two photon absorption causes solidification to occur within a small spot area, which provides a means for creating larger, higher resolution objects than DLP systems or laser systems that use single photon absorption.

Dual-wavelength pumped thulium-doped optical fiber amplifier

An arrangement and method provide an optical thulium doped fiber amplifier utilizing a dual wavelength pumping scheme for amplifying an optical signal. The method includes the steps of: a first deposition (a) of energy into the fiber amplifier by pumping with radiation of a first wavelength; and a second deposition (b) of energy into the fiber amplifier by pumping with radiation of a second wavelength. The radiation of the first wavelength is arranged to induce, by single photon absorption, a population to the 3H4 level of the thulium dopant, and the radiation of the second wavelength primarily depopulates the 3F4 level, by excited absorption of a single photon, preferably by strong excited state absorption to the 3F2 level. The steps gives a population inversion between the 3H4 and the 3F4 levels and facilitate a power efficient high gain amplification.

The invention discloses a carbon nanodot with a thermal activation near-infrared up-conversion luminescence characteristic as well as a preparation method and application of the same, and belongs to the technical field of carbon nanomaterials. The carbon nanodots are prepared by stripping red light emitting carbon nanodots and are formed by stacking a single layer or a small amount of graphene-like lamellas, and main absorption and emission peaks of the carbon nanodots are located in a near-infrared region. The up-conversion luminescence of the carbon nanodots originates from thermal activation single photon absorption and can be achieved under the excitation of a continuous laser light source; up-conversion emission peak positions are subjected to blue shift along with temperature rise, and peak intensity is enhanced; as the temperature decreases, the up-conversion emission gradually disappears while the down-conversion luminescence is enhanced. The near-infrared luminescence up-conversion carbon nanodot can be used as a near-infrared imaging reagent to be applied to variable-temperature up-conversion fluorescence imaging and in-vivo up-conversion fluorescence imaging.
