APPLICATION NOTE

Ultrafast Lasers for Multiphoton Microscopy

Written by Michel Begin, M. Sc. A | Product Line Manager - Fiber Lasers

October 5, 2024 | Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is a powerful imaging technique widely used in biological and biomedical research. Femtosecond mode-locked lasers are essential tools to reach/achieve the high peak power required for these applications. In this application note, we will review important parameters to consider when selecting an ultrafast laser for multiphoton microscopy.

The application note covers:

  • Laser sources for MPM
  • Choosing a fs laser for MPM
  • Experimental results
