Multiphoton microscopic imaging using high-power Cr~(4+):forsterite laser

摘要

We construct a high-energy short-pulse Cr~(4+):forsterite oscillator and apply it for nonlinear optical imaging. We show that the unique wavelength of Cr~(4+):forsterite laser is perfectly suitable for deep subsurface imaging utilizing simultaneously several different imaging techniques. We also demonstrate that longer wavelength is more appropriate for non-invasive imaging of living cells.
