Near Infrared Femtosecond Laser and Its Two-photon Bio-imaging Technology

  • 발행 : 2021.10.01

초록

Over the last three decades, the development of Ti:sapphire femtosecond lasers has led to advancements in scientific and industrial fields. In particular, these advanced lasers show great potential for applications with bio-imaging and medical surgery, such as two-photon microscopy, nonlinear Raman microscopy, optical coherence tomography, and ophthalmic surgery. Herein, we present a detailed description of the theoretical and experimental physics of Kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond Ti:sapphire lasers and its two-photon microscopy.
