Pulsed cascaded Raman fiber laser widely tunable in the second near-infrared and visible window for hyperspectral photoacoustic imaging.
Pulsed laser sources with nanosecond pulse duration are widely used in numerous noninvasive biomedical imaging applications, notably photoacoustic imaging (PAI), an in vivo imaging modality. Multiple laser sources are required to target the absorption features of multiple endogenous chromophores (optical absorbers inside tissues). We demonstrate a widely tunable pulsed cascaded Raman fiber laser continuously tunable in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1060-1600 nm) and through harmonic conversion in the visible window (530-600 nm, limited by crystal availability in-house) for PAI in multiple wavelength bands. The laser generates pulse energy ∼10 μJ in the NIR-II window and ∼0.1 μJ in the visible window with a high repetition rate tunable from 20 to 80 kHz and a pulse duration tunable from 40 to 200 ns. The source is then used for PAI, demonstrating photoacoustic spectroscopy of lipids in the second resonance of C-H bonds (1145-1257 nm).
期刊介绍：
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
