The temporal profiles of ultrashort light pulses propagating through turbid media of different lengths were measured with a streak camera. Various Fourier spatial filters were used to select the spatial frequencies of the scattered pulses. The temporal profiles of the pulses scattered by a 0.4% Intralipid solution in a cell of 5-cm thickness were signif icantly narrowed because of the removal of the higher-frequency components by a Fourier spatial filter.
We have measured UV fluorescence excited through two-photon absorption from native chicken tissue, using 600-nm, 500-fs pulses from a R6G dye laser. The observed emission signal was found to depend quadratically on the excitation intensity. The two-photon excitation-induced fluorescence spectrum is attributed to tryptophan residues in proteins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
