“…During the modulating process, with the 3dB spectral bandwidth narrowing, the peak wavelength has a slight change and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of soliton becomes wider at the same time, which is consistent with previous work [32]. This is because the different interaction intensity of TE and TM mode with graphene and self-steeping effect (SSE), Raman-induced frequency shift (RIFS) of soliton when it propagates in fiber [28,[35][36][37].…”

Using a two-layer structure consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to support graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), we demonstrate a flexible integrated graphene saturable absorber (SA) on microfiber for passive mode-locked soliton fiber laser. This method can optimize the light-graphene interaction by using evanescent field in the integration structure. Moreover, the fiber laser with the in-line microfiber-to-graphene SA can realize the tunabilities of both the 3dB bandwidth of output optical spectrum and the pulse width of soliton. This tunable mode-locked soliton laser has potential applications in optical communication, optical microscopy, and so on.

Nonlinear microscopy techniques developed over the past two decades have provided dramatic new capabilities for biological imaging. The initial demonstrations of nonlinear microscopies coincided with the development of solid-state femtosecond lasers, which continue to dominate applications of nonlinear microscopy. Fiber lasers offer attractive features for biological and biomedical imaging, and recent advances are leading to high-performance sources with the potential for robust, inexpensive, integrated instruments. This article discusses recent advances, and identifies challenges and opportunities for fiber lasers in nonlinear bioimaging.

“…An optical parametric amplifier (OPA, OPA9850, Coherent, pumped by a chirped pulse amplification system, RegA9050, Coherent) at 1300 nm was used for measuring the three-photon action cross sections of fluorescein and wtGFP. A femtosecond pulsed source at 1680 nm based on soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) in a photonic crystal (PC) rod [16,17] was used for measuring three-photon action cross section of SR101 and four-photon action cross sections of fluorescein and wtGFP. The experiment setup is shown in Fig.…”

We report quantitative measurements of two-, three-, and four-photon excitation action cross sections of several commonly used fluorophores and fluorescent proteins at three different excitation wavelengths of 800 nm, 1300 nm, and 1680 nm. The measured cross section values are consistent with simple quantum mechanic estimations. These values indicate that the optimum repetition rate for deep tissue 3-photon microscopy is approximately 1 to 2 MHz. We further demonstrate that it is feasible to perform 4-photon fluorescence microscopy of GFP labeled microglia in mouse brain in vivo at 1700 nm. 4-photon excitation increases the accessibility of fluorophores at the long wavelength spectral window of 1700 nm.
