- Ultrafast Ti:sapphire laser sources have been used in nonlinear microscopy given its large peak powers and its broad tunability range. However, its complexity, and high cost have limited the widespread adoption of these technology into imaging techniques for daily routine biomedical applications. This is significant because by using a solid-state Yb-tungstate laser allows solving the pricing problem of Ti:Sapphire laser technologies by using spectral broadening via a microstructured fibre followed by pulse compression for having the necessary peak powers, making it suitable for its use for non-linear microscopy. This technology is commercialized by Time bandwidth products now part of Lumentum.
