Abstract/Summary:
Nonlinear microscopy benefits from broadband laser sources, enabling efficient excitation of an array of fluorophores, for example. This work demonstrates broadening of a narrow band input pulse (6 nm to 40 nm) centered at 1040 nm with excellent shot-to-shot stability. In a preliminary demonstration, multiphoton imaging with pulses from the fiber is performed. In particular second harmonic imaging of corn starch is performed.
