TUNABLE FIBER OPTIC PARAMETRIC OPTICAL OSCILLATOR FOR CARS MICROSCOPY

Tunable parametric optical oscillator in fiber optics configured to parametrically generate in photonic crystal fibers, the signals necessary to cover the Raman spectrum (NIR) with the spectral resolution, and the temporal and spatial overlap required in its application to CARS microscopy, which comprises a tunable pulsed oscillator (seed laser), at least one optical isolator (9), an amplifier (11) formed by at least one stage based on rare earth doped fiber, and a parametric generation stage based on photonic crystal fibers.
