Nonlinear laser scanning microscopy and microprocessing of biological and technical materials using a new diode-pumped solid-state femtosecond laser with cavity dumping

A diode-pumped Yb:glass femtosecond laser oscillator with electro-optical cavity-dumping has been applied for nonlinear laser-scanning microscopy and processing of biomaterials. The high-energy pulses delivered by this source in combination with its unique parameters proved very efficient for micro-processing of biomaterials.
