Direct diode-pumped titanium sapphire laser for multi-photon imaging of biological tissue

该项目将利用直接二极管泵浦钛蓝宝石激光器领域的最新进展。直接二极管泵浦通常由复杂的激光系统泵浦，具有显著降低钛宝石系统的复杂性和相关成本的潜力。这将对多光子成像等多种医学应用大有裨益。虽然这项技术已在实验室环境中得到证明，但还需要进一步的研究来验证其商业化的可行性。在这方面的问题是克服二极管激光器有限的泵浦功率造成的限制，这可能会阻碍这些设备在完全工程化的系统中的性能。M Squared打算通过建模、系统设计和实验研究来解决这些问题。

The project will leverage recent advances in the field of direct diode pumped titanium sapphire lasers. Typically pumped by complex laser systems, direct diode pumping has the potential to significantly reduce the complexity and associated costs of Ti:sapphire systems. This would be of great benefit for a variety of medical applications such as multi photon imaging.While the technology has been proven in a laboratory environment, further investigations are required to verify the feasibility of its commercialisation. The issues in this context are to overcome the limitations imposed by the limited pump power of the diode lasers which can potentially hinder the performance of these devices in fully engineered systems. M Squared intends to address these issues by modelling, system design and experimental investigations.
