Control of the lasers dynamics by pumping modulation for biophotonics applications

Abstract

A study of the opportunities offered by the fiber laser output for optical coherent stimulation is performed. The investigation is based on the strong nonlinear behavior of the pump modulated laser. The two-mode laser enhances the variability range of the output including the state of polarization of the laser field. This is expected to have applications in neural stimulation. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2008.
