Polarized fluorescence in NADH under two-photon excitation with femtosecond laser pulses

The decay of polarized fluorescence in coenzyme NADH upon two-photon excitation by femtosecond laser pulses at the wavelength range of 720- 780 nm in water/methanol solution has been investigated. Decay fluorescence times tau_1 and tau_2, rotation diffusion time tau_rot, and preexponential factors a_1/a_2 ratio have been determined from experiment. The results obtained have been compared with previous results in NADH in aqueous solution. polarized fluorescence, NADH, adenine, nicotinamide, spectroscopy, time correlation single photon spectroscopy

Sol Gel Synthesis

AbstractReal 3-D sub-νm lithography was performed with two-photon polymerization (2PP) using inorganic-organic hybrid polymer (ORMOCER®) resins. The hybrid polymers were synthesized by hydrolysis/polycondensation reactions (modified sol-gel synthesis) which allows one to tailor their material properties towards the respective applications, i.e., dielectrics, optics or passivation. Due to their photosensitive organic functionalities, ORMOCER®s can be patterned by conventional photo-lithography as well as by femtosecond laser pulses at 780 nm. This results in polymerized (solid) structures where the non-polymerized parts can be removed by conventional developers.ORMOCER® structures as small as 200 nm or even below were generated by 2PP of the resins using femtosecond laser pulses. It is demonstrated that ORMOCER®s have the potential to be used in components or devices built up by nm-scale structures such as, e.g., photonic crystals. Aspects of the materials in conjunction to the applied technology are discussed.

Ultrashort Laser

Abstract This paper presents the use of pulsed laser stimulation with picosecond and femtosecond laser pulses. We first discuss the resolution improvement that can be expected when using ultrashort laser pulses. Two case studies are then presented to illustrate the possibilities of the pulsed laser photoelectric stimulation in picosecond single-photon and femtosecond two-photon modes.
