High power OPCPA system for in-vivo 2- and 3-photon brain imaging

摘要

An optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier (OPCPA) system is presented, capable of providing ultrashort laser pulses at all relevant central wavelengths, from 920 to 1700 nm, for 2- and 3-photon imaging applications with repetition rates up to 10 MHz for ultrafast image acquisition.
