基于双光子光折变效应的Manakov光伏孤子温度特性

基于具有双光子光伏光折变效应的介质,数值研究了双光子Manakov光伏孤子的温度特性。结果表明：在室温范围内,亮-亮、暗-暗和亮-暗Manakov光伏孤子对成分的峰值光强和半峰全宽均受温度影响。亮-亮Manakov光伏孤子对的强度包络随着晶体温度的升高,其两孤子成分的峰值光强都逐渐减小,而其半峰全宽逐渐增加。暗-暗和亮-暗Manakov光伏孤子对具有类似的温度特性。在一定的温度范围内,两孤子成分可以克服温度扰动而演化为稳定孤波。     

Measurement of the laser pulse width on the microscope objective plane by modulated autocorrelation method

We report on the construction details of a compact autocorrelator set‐up for the measurement of the width of infrared laser pulses at the focal plane of a microscope for two‐photon excitation fluorescence imaging. One of the novelties of the set‐up, which leads to an improved measurement accuracy, is the use of a modulation technique that is achieved by mounting one of the interferometer mirrors on a loudspeaker driven by a sinusoidal bias at low frequency. A non‐linear least‐square routine selects only that part of the fluorescence signal that is modulated at the same frequency as the loudspeaker bias. To further increase the accuracy, the laser pulse width is obtained from a series of measurements at different values of the modulation bias. The autocorrelator is a compact single bread‐board (10 × 20 cm); it is PC‐controlled both for the acquisition and the analysis of the data and can be coupled to different ports of the microscope. The increase in the pulse width measured for three different ports of the microscope is well accounted for by the group velocity dispersion and the glass thickness of the optics found along these paths.     

共振扫描显微成像中的图像畸变校正

设计了一种校正算法用于校正双光子荧光显微镜等高速扫描成像系统中共振振镜扫描导致的图像畸变。首先对共振振镜的扫描运动建立模型,推导出非线性扫描的运动公式,进而得到图像畸变公式;然后对一块朗奇光栅样品扫描成像,设计了多峰高斯拟合算法得到光栅所有条纹的宽度变化并通过最小二乘法将条纹宽度数据拟合成一条畸变曲线;最后利用畸变曲线对图像进行校正。结果表明:采用提出的校正算法可使系统最大畸变减小到传统正弦校正方法的1/3,相对畸变减小到1/5,校正效果比传统的正弦校正法提高了2倍。由于提出的曲线拟合校正算法不用增加额外的光路,且不需要切割边缘图像,故显示了极好的图像使用效率和校正效果。     

Highly efficient upconverters for multiphoton fluorescence microscopy

A new generation of efficient two-photon absorbing fluorescent molecules has been developed and used effectively for two-photon laser scanning microscopy. Several examples of the use of these new fluorophores have been presented. In addition, issues relating to the two-photon absorption cross-section, excitation power, sample properties and resolution in two-photon laser scanning microscopy are discussed.     

Three-dimensional laser scanning two-photon fluorescence confocal microscopy of polymer materials using a new,efficient upconverting fluorophore

Three-dimensional confocal imaging of polymer samples was achieved by the use of two-photon excited fluorescence in both positive and negative contrast modes. The fluorophore was a new and highly efficient two-photon induced upconverter, resulting in improved signal strength at low pumping power. Because of the relatively long wavelength of the excitation source (798 nm from a mode-locked Ti:Sap-phire laser), this technique shows a larger penetration depth into the samples than provided by conventional single-photon fluorescence confocal microscopy. Single-photon and two-photon images of the same area of each sample show significant differences. The results suggest the possibility of using two-photon confocal microscopy, in conjunction with highly efficient fluorophores, as a tool to study the surface, interface, and fracture in material science applications.     

Conventional, confocal and two-photon fluorescence microscopy investigations of polymer-supported oxygen sensors

Luminescence‐based, polymer‐supported oxygen sensors, particularly those based on platinum group complexes, continue to be of analytical importance. Commercial applications range from the macroscopic (e.g. aerodynamic investigations in wind tunnels, monitoring of oxygen concentration during fermentation, and measurement of biological oxygen demand) to the microscopic (e.g. imaging of oxygen in blood, tissue, cells and other biological samples). Problems hindering the design of improved oxygen sensors include non‐linear Stern–Volmer calibration plots and the multi‐exponentiality of measured lifetime decays, both of which are attributed primarily to heterogeneity of the sensor molecule in the polymer support matrix. Conventional, confocal and two‐photon fluorescence microscopy have proven to be invaluable tools with which the microscale heterogeneity and response of luminescence‐based oxygen sensors can be investigated and compared to the macroscopic response. Results obtained for three ruthenium(II) α‐diimine complexes in polydimethylsiloxane polymer supports indicate the presence of unquenched microcrystals within the polymer matrix that probably degrade oxygen quenching sensitivity and linearity of the Stern–Volmer quenching plot. Two‐photon fluorescence microscopy proved most useful for imaging microcrystals within sensor films, and conventional microscopy allowed direct comparison between microscopic and macroscopic sensor response. The implications of the results in the rational design and mass production of luminescence‐based oxygen sensors are significant.

Two-Photon Absorption Induced Cancer Immunotherapy Using Covalent Organic Frameworks

Immune checkpoint blockade therapy is revolutionizing the traditional treatment model of multiple tumor types, but remains ineffective for a large subset of patients. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been shown to induce cancer cell death and provoke an immune response, and may represent a potential strategy to synergize with immune checkpoint blockade therapy. However, the limited tissue penetration of exciting light for conventional PDT largely hinders its application in the clinic and its further combination with immunotherapy. Here, a serrated packing covalent organic framework (COF), COF-606, with excellent two-photon absorption (2PA) property and photostability, largely avoids aggregation-caused quenching, therefore offering high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency; it is used as a 2PA photosensitizer for PDT in deep tumor tissue. COF-606 induced PDT is shown to be efficient in inducing immunogenic cell death, provoking an immune response and normalizing the immunosuppressive status for the first time. This makes it possible to combine 2PA induced PDT using COF with programmed cell death protein 1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Such combination leads to strong abscopal tumor-inhibiting efficiency and long-lasting immune memory effects, standing as a promising combinatorial therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.
