We demonstrate a near-infrared, femtosecond, diode laser-based source with kW peak power for two-photon microscopy. At a wavelength of 976 nm, the system produces sub-ps pulses operating at a repetition rate of 10 MHz with kilowatt class peak powers suitable for deep tissue two-photon microscopy. The system, integrated with a laser-scanning microscope, images to a depth of 900 µm in a fixed sample of PLP-eGFP labeled mouse brain tissue. This represents a significant development that will lead to more efficient, compact, and accessible laser sources for biomedical imaging.
我们展示了一种基于近红外飞秒二极管激光器的光源,其峰值功率可达千瓦级,用于双光子显微镜。在976纳米波长下,该系统产生亚皮秒脉冲,重复频率为10兆赫兹,峰值功率为千瓦级,适用于深部组织双光子显微镜。该系统与激光扫描显微镜集成,在PLP-eGFP标记的小鼠脑组织固定样本中成像深度可达900微米。这是一项重大进展,将为生物医学成像带来更高效、紧凑且易于使用的激光源。
