T1 - Advances in broad bandwidth light sources for ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography N2 - Novel ultra-broad bandwidth light sources enabling unprecedented sub-2 pm axial resolution over the 400 nm-1700 nm wavelength range have been developed and evaluated with respect to their feasibility for clinical ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR OCT) applications. The state-of-the-art light sources described here include a compact Kerr lens mode locked Ti:sapphire laser (lambda(c) = 785 nm, Deltalambda = 260 nm, P-out = 50 mW) and different nonlinear fibre-based light sources with spectral bandwidths (at full width at half maximum) up to 350 nm at lambda(c) = 1130 nm and 470 nm at lambda(c) = 1375 run. In vitro UHR OCT imaging is demonstrated at multiple wavelengths in human cancer cells, animal ganglion cells as well as in neuropathologic and ophthalmic biopsies in order to compare and optimize UHR OCT image contrast, resolution and penetration depth Y1 - 2004 SN - 0031-9155 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - von Seggern, David A1 - Modrakowski, Claudia A1 - Spitz, Christian A1 - Schlüter, A.

A1 - Menzel, Ralf T1 - Charge transfer initiated by optical excitation in diester substituted biphenylpyrene as a function of the solvent characterized by excited state absorption spectroscopy N2 - Cross-sections for ground and excited state absorptions of the charge transfer system 3-(3-tert- butoxycarbonylamino-propyl)-4'-pyren-1-yl-biphenyl-2,5-dicarbo xylicacid dimethyl ester (Py-C) are determined from nonlinear absorption and fluorescence measurements as a function of solvent. While in non-polar solvents no stable charge transfer (CT) state occurs after optical excitation, in polar solvents the CT state is stabilized. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

To introduce the Lefschetz number for a holomorphic map of D, we make use of the Bergman kernel of this domain. The Lefschetz number is proved to be the sum of the usual contributions of fixed points of the map in D and contributions of boundary fixed points, these latter being different for attracting and repulsing fixed points Y1 - 2004 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Seefeldt, Michael A1 - Heuer, Axel A1 - Menzel, Ralf T1 - Compact white-light source with an average output power of 2.4 W and 900 nm spectral bandwidth Y1 - 2003 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Heuer, Axel A1 - Hänisch, Christoph A1 - Menzel, Ralf T1 - Low-power phase conjugation based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in fiber amplifiers Y1 - 2003 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Raab, Volker A1 - Skoczowsky, Danilo A1 - Menzel, Ralf T1 - Tuning high-power diodes with as much as 0.38 W of power and M2 = 1.2 over a range of 32 nm with 3-GHz bandwidth Y1 - 2003 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Heuer, Axel A1 - Hänisch, Christoph A1 - Menzel, Ralf T1 - New concept for low threshold optical phase conjugation via SBS in a fiber amplifier Y1 - 2003 SN - 0-8194-4772-2 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Ostermeyer, Martin A1 - Klemz, Guido A1 - Kubina, P.
