Differential microscopy for fluorescence-detected nonlinear absorption linear anisotropy based on a staggered two-beam femtosecond Yb:KGW oscillator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new laser system and nonlinear microscope, designed for differential nonlinear microscopy. The microscope features time-correlated single photon counting of multiphoton fluorescence generated by an alternating pulse-train of orthogonally polarized pulses. The generated nonlinear signal is separated using home-built electronics. Results are presented on fluorescence-detected nonlinear absorption linear anisotropy (FDNALA) of chloroplasts in Asparagus Sprengerii Regel and of Congo Red-stained cellulose.

Two-photon excited fluorescence in the LYB:Eu monoclinic crystal: towards a new scheme of single-beam dual-voxel direct laser writing in crystals.
We report on two-photon excited fluorescence in the oriented Eu(3+)doped LYB monoclinic crystal under femtosecond laser tight focusing. Due to spatial walk-off, the two polarization modes of the incident femtosecond beam simultaneously provide the independent excitation of two distinct focuses, leading to a single-beam dual-voxel nonlinear excitation of fluorescence below material modification ...
متن کاملDifferential Polarization Nonlinear Optical Microscopy with Adaptive Optics Controlled Multiplexed Beams
Differential polarization nonlinear optical microscopy has the potential to become an indispensable tool for structural investigations of ordered biological assemblies and microcrystalline aggregates. Their microscopic organization can be probed through fast and sensitive measurements of nonlinear optical signal anisotropy, which can be achieved with microscopic spatial resolution by using time...

narrow separation (e.g., 1086 and 1089 nm) resulting from transitions between the sublevels of two particular manifolds [1–5]. In contrast, Yb-ions have broad fluorescence spectra due to their relatively strong interactions between the electronic F5/2– F7/2 transitions and the host lattice vibrations. This makes them particularly attractive for generating dual-wavelength radiation with tunable ...
