One of the main advantages of using ultrafast femtosecond fiber lasers is the high peak power that they offer, which is a result of their ultra-short pulse duration. This high peak power makes these lasers ideal for a wide range of applications, including multiphoton microscopy. In this white paper we show that sub 50 fs pulse durations provide unprecedented multiphoton conversion efficiencies with intense peak powers.

Kentek

A laser safety program based on ANSI Z136.1 “Safe Use of Lasers” standard is the cornerstone of any organization using Class 3B and 4 laser systems. Management is responsible for ensuring the safe use of lasers owned and operated under its control. The Laser Safety Officer (LSO) administers the overall laser safety program. This paper will mainly address Class 3B and 4 laser safety requirements and it will discuss the provisions of a laser safety program and personnel responsibilities.

Photo-luminescence is the phenomenon that a material emits light after having absorbed light. When the emission of light happens almost instantaneously (in nanoseconds) it is called fluorescence and when the emission decays over longer time (milliseconds) it is called phosphorescence. A material that exhibits fluorescence is called a fluorophore and such materials are used extensively in the analysis of biological materials.

As we reflect on history, we can observe numerous systems with resemblances to robots. In fact, some concepts of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are speculated to date back to ancient times. The resourceful Ancient Greeks, for instance, created sophisticated automated puppet theatres1 , while the Ancient Egyptians devised ingenious mechanical operating systems embodied in figurines2 . Fast-forwarding to the present era, significant progress has been made since the days of Ancient Greece and Egypt. Nevertheless, it is evident that the fundamental mechanics of some contemporary systems bear similarities to those of antiquity.
