Multi-photon confocal microscopy was performed by using a femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser. Taking advantage of its unique wavelength emitting at 1200-1250 nm, high penetration depth and excellent multi-photon luminescence can be easily observed in most bio-tissues and labeling dyes.

Third Harmonic Generation Microscopy of GaN, Chi-Kuang Sun, Shi-Wei Chu, National Taiwan University, Taipei, TAIWAN, R.O.C., Stacia Keller, Steven DenBaars, UCSB, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
Large third harmonic generation was observed in bulk GaN by using an infrared femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser. Taking advantage of this pronounced nonlinear optical effect, we have demonstrated third harmonic generation microscopy in GaN, which reveals interesting information not obtained before.
