910nm femtosecond Nd-doped fiber laser for in vivo two-photon microscopic imaging

Opt Express. 2016 Jul 25;24(15):16544-9. doi: 10.1364/OE.24.016544.

Abstract

Pre-chirp technique was used in an Nd-doped fiber amplifier to optimize high-quality 910 nm pulses with the pulses width of 114 fs and pulse energy of 4.4 nJ. The in vivo zebrafish imaging results from our totally home-made microscopy proves our femtosecond Nd fiber laser an ideal source in two-photon microscopic imaging.
