Two-photon-induced fluorescence of biological markers based on optical fibers.

چکیده
Optical fibers were used to induce fluorescence by means of two-photon absorption in fluorophores. The effect, studied in a solution of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, demonstrated that a single-mode fiber is a more efficient two-photon excitation source than a multimode fiber. This was shown with three different fibers.

Biosensing based on two-photon fluorescence measurements through optical fibers.
We have performed two-photon fluorescence detection in a new scheme in which femtosecond laser pulses were delivered thorugh an optical fiber for nonlinear excitation and the emitted fluorescence was collected through the same fiber. Single-mode fibers were determined to give higher detection efficiency than multimode fibers, consistent with theoretical considerations. The utility of fiber-opti...
متن کاملThe Study of Variation of Photon Intensity Inside Biological Phantom by Green Theorem
The Image reconstruction is an important problem in optical tomography. The process of the image processing requires the study of photon migration in biological tissue. There are several approaches to study and simulate propagation of photons in biological tissues. These approaches are categorized into stochastic and analytical groups. The Monte Carlo method as a stochastic method is widely use...
متن کاملTwo-photon-induced fluorescence from the phycoerythrin protein.
Two-photon-induced fluorescence is observed from the photodynamic phycobiliprotein phycoerythrin. Temporal, spectral, and intensity-dependent properties of the two-photon-induced fluorescence emission from phycoerythrin excited by a 1.06-mum laser beam are reported. The measured two-photon absorption cross section of phycoerythrin is an order of magnitude larger than that of Rhodamine 6G. The p...

A superoperator non-equilibrium Green's function formalism is presented for computing nonlinear optical processes involving any combination of classical and quantum optical modes. Closed correlation-function expressions based on superoperator time-ordering are derived for the combined effects of causal response and non-causal spontaneous fluctuations. Coherent three wave mixing (sum frequency g...
متن کاملFiber laser based two-photon FRET measurement of calmodulin and mCherry-E(0)GFP proteins.
The speed and accuracy of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements can be improved by rapidly alternating excitation wavelengths between the donor and acceptor fluorophore. We demonstrate FRET efficiency measurements based on a fiber laser and photonic crystal fiber as the source for two-photon excitation (TPE). This system offers the potential for rapid wavelength switching with t...
