Abstract

Ultra-broadband absorption properties of graphene have enabled a wide number of possibilities in the fields of lasers and photonics. Here we'll present a patented turn-key, dual-wavelength synchronized fiber laser solution exploiting graphene-related materials as a broadband saturable absorber medium, implemented in a coherent Raman microscopy platform for live cell-imaging and tissue analysis; such technology has been developed by Cambridge Raman Imaging (CRI) Ltd., a spin-out of the University of Cambridge and Politecnico di Milano, with the mission to bring to market innovative chemometric imaging platforms for the study of living cells and the identification of tumours and other diseases in the clinical practice. CRI's instruments will provide clinicians with a unique tool to objectively analyze tumours and effectively tailor treatments, with the ultimate goal of making personalized medicine widely accessible to all patients.
