Abstract

The role of photonics in healthcare is always pushing the boundaries of life science imaging and now more economical light sources are required, whilst achieving essential technical performance characteristics. In this presentation, we will consider the evolution of ultrafast laser sources over the last few years and demonstrate how important factors such as: microscopy integration, reliability and robustness are fostering new opportunities for ultrashort-pulse lasers to be adopted for a wide range of life science applications. Throughout the presentation, reference will be made to healthcare research conducted using fixed wavelength femtosecond sources for two-photon fluorescence microscopy and laser irradiation of nanoparticles.
