TUNABLE MID-IR FIBER LASER FOR NON-LINEAR IMAGING APPLICATIONS

摘要

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).
