摘要

When a visible wavelength beam from an ultrashort pulse mode-locked laser is focused by high numerical aperture optics within a UV absorbing medium, quadratic dependence of two-photon absorption on the intensity of the exciting radiation confines fluorescence excitation and induced photochemistry predominantly within a focal volume of less than one cubic micrometer. This tiny focal volume provides an exceptionally well defined light tool for laser scanning fluorescence microscopy, direct writing photolithography, and multi-layered optical data storage.; Optical transfer functions are calculated for selected single- and two-photon microscopes. Optical sectioning or background rejection of the two-photon microscopes, even when using a wide field detector, is seen to be comparable to that of the single-photon confocal microscope. Furthermore, the two-photon instrument restricts photobleaching to the focal plane, facilitating the collection of image depth series for three dimensional image reconstructions. Finally, chromatic aberration with UV excited fluorophores, a problem for single-photon confocal microscopes, is relieved by two-photon excitation using visible wavelengths.; Two-photon excited scanning photopolymerization and photolithography using a sharply focused single beam allows microfabrication of complex structures not possible with single-photon excitation. Results showing half micron wide trenches of very high aspect ratio, and resist structures with undercutting edges, all produced with only a single development step, demonstrate the potential utility of two-photon excitation in microfabrication.; Finally, unprecedented high density ({dollar}>{dollar}10{dollar}sp{lcub}12{rcub}{dollar} bits/cm{dollar}sp3{dollar}) optical recording of digital information in a multi-layered, three dimensional format is demonstrated. Information written as submicron volume elements of increased refractive index within a photopolymer medium is read out with sufficient axial resolution by differential interference contrast microscopy.; Photobleaching, saturation, and intersystem crossing--all problems for conventional single photon laser scanning microscopy--are also measured for two important fluorophores.
