A laser system for multiphoton microscopy comprises a seeder oscillator, fast modulator, amplifier, second modulator, and optical parametric amplifier configured to produce pulses with variable pulse spacing temporally synchronized to a scanner having sinusoidal motion. The variable pulse spacing ensures each pixel receives substantially the same number of laser pulses, eliminating uneven energy distribution of fixed repetition rate systems. The scanner operates at 4-12 kHz frequencies while the seeder oscillator produces femtosecond pulses at 10-100 MHz with 10-100 ns pulse spacing. The optical parametric amplifier outputs wavelengths from 600-1900 nm, with 1300-1700 nm optimized for three-photon microscopy. Methods include synchronizing pulse timing to scanner motion and varying interpulse intervals across scan lines. For 8 kHz scanners with 512 pixels per line, the system achieves 32% energy reduction compared to constant pulse spacing while maintaining 100-150 mW average power on biological samples, preventing thermal damage and enabling video rate imaging.

A method for performing content-based video compression using reinforcement learning (RL) is provided. The method includes obtaining frame information associated with a frame from a video. The frame information comprises quantization parameter (QP) information associated with the frame, and the QP information indicates an initial compression level for encoding aspects of the frame. The frame information and additional information are processed by an RL agent to generate a generated QP map indicating a plurality of updated values associated with a plurality of macro-blocks (MBs) of the frame. A bitstream is generated comprising a plurality of bits for the frame based on the generated QP map. Specifically, the plurality of updated values from the generated QP map indicates an amount of allocated bits from the bitstream to allocate for each of the plurality of MBs. The bitstream is provided to a downstream model.
