Simultaneous spatial and temporal focusing of femtosecond pulses

We experimentally demonstrate the concept of simultaneous spatial and temporal focusing of femtosecond pulses. Our technique has the potential to significantly reduce background excitation which fundamentally limits the imaging depth in scattering biological specimens.
