Abstract

In this paper an ideal approach for pulse characterisation within a multiphoton microscope is demonstrated. This methodology will be used for shaping the pulses with an spatial light modulators (SLM) and to study the influence of arbitrary phase profiles, specifically with large bandwidth pulses, on nonlinear imaging of the biological samples.
