Arrangement for optimization of pulse shape of laser scanning microscope has beam division and recombination devices separation by beam manipulator for spectral division of laser light beam

摘要

Device for coupling of a short pulse laser in a microscope beam path with the spectral components of the laser beam separated using a first dispersing element (1) such as a prism or grating, spectrally manipulated into individual spectral components using a manipulator (2) and then recombined with a further dispersing element (3). The manipulator is a spatial light modulator (SLM).
