Implementation of a Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) System on a Ti:Sapphire and OPO Laser Based Standard Laser Scanning Microscope
Published on: July 17, 2016
Abstract:
We describe a terawatt, femtosecond laser system based on Ti:sapphire amplifiers and the technique of chirpedpulse amplification. The laser output at 807 nm contains 60 mJ of energy in a 125-fs pulse duration. The laser beam is nearly diffraction limited and may be focused to an intensity of 10(18) W/cm(2) with an f/6 optic.
