Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aimed at developing novel techniques of light control for applying practical laser sources to stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, which is regarded as a powerful technique for label-free biomedical imaging. In the beginning of this research, we planned to investigate noise suppression in higher order Nyquist region, but we changed the research strategy without changing the objective. The achievements can be summarized as (1) demonstration of spectral imaging by fiber-laser-based SRS microscopy, (2) discovery of RF spectral modulation due to delayed interference of optical noise, and (3) realization of high-speed wavelength-tunable pulsed fiber laser with an intracavity optical filter. These results indicate that the research objective has been almost achieved.
