Research equipment for development of nonlinear laser microscopy and spectroscopy

我们建议在马尼托巴大学开发新的基于激光的光学装置，该装置将提供独特的能力，并将在非线性光学显微镜和生物以及非生物样品的光谱学中开辟超快光学的新应用领域。该系统将包括一个先进的可调谐飞秒激光系统，新型的非侵入式光学显微镜的高分辨率成像和高灵敏度的非线性光谱设置。所要求的设备将有助于开发这些最先进的仪器，并参与细胞流体动力学的详细研究，先进介电材料的宽带光谱学以及开发用于食品安全和生物医学应用的新型仪器解决方案。该项目将为激光光学、生物医学活细胞成像、光谱学、光学和电子材料等领域的广泛创新的长期跨学科研究计划和专业培训创造机会。新仪器的独特功能也将通过合作研究项目提供给马尼托巴大学及其他地区的广大科学家社区。

We propose to develop novel laser based optical setups at the University of Manitoba that will provide unique capabilities and will open new application areas of ultrafast optics in nonlinear optical microscopy and spectroscopy of biological as well as non-biological samples. The proposed system will consist of an advanced widely tunable femtosecond laser system, novel non-invasive optical microscope for high-resolution imaging and a high sensitivity nonlinear spectroscopy setup. The requested equipment will help to develop these state-of-the-art instruments and engage in detailed investigations of cellular hydrodynamics, broadband spectroscopy of advanced dielectric materials and development of novel instrumental solutions for food safety and biomedical applications. The project will create an opportunity for a broad range of innovative long-term interdisciplinary research programs and professional training in laser optics, biomedical live cell imaging, spectroscopy, optical and electronic materials. The unique capabilities of new instrumentation will also be available to a large community of scientist at the University of Manitoba and beyond through collaborative research projects.
