Frequency-doubled FDML-MOPA laser in the visible

Wavelength-swept lasers enable high-speed measurements in absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nonlinear Raman hyperspectral microscopy, rapid confocal microscopy, short impulse generation, and most importantly for high-speed optical coherence tomography, with speeds up to video-rate volumetric imaging. Recently, we introduced a pulsed wavelength-swept laser based on the Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) laser principle combined with a master-oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) architecture. The high peak powers reached with this laser enabled rapid two-photon microscopy and two-photon fluorescence lifetime microscopy and high-speed light detection and ranging measurements. Here, we present the extension of this laser into the visible wavelength range by frequency doubling the ...
