摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to an optical arrangement for transmitting short laser pulses in optical fibers (2), especially for injection into a laser microscope, preferably for use in two-photon laser microscopy. The inventive arrangement comprises a short-pulse laser light source (1) and at least one optical fiber (2). An optical device (3) for temporally modifying the laser pulses is provided between the laser light source (1) and the optical fiber (2). The optical arrangement is provided for compensating an unintentional fiber dispersion and non-linear effects resulting from high energy densities, mainly self-phase modulation. The invention is characterized in that the optical device (3) is configured as a section which is, for the most part, comprised of a transparent, dispersive medium and which is located in the beam path (4) in front of the optical fiber (2) which serves the time extension of the laser pulses (pulse spreading).</p> |
