Pump-probe Microscopy: Applications in Biomedicine and Materials Science (Invited)
Observations of the microscopic dynamics of biological systems and the ultrafast behavior of particles in materials science can help us understand the ultrafast response of biological systems and materials in a deeper and more microscopic way. The pump-probe microscope is a new characterization method combing the pump-probe technology and microscopic imaging. By selecting different detection modes,the micro-mechanisms of different systems can be explored and characterized. In this review,the principle of pump-probe technology is first introduced. Then three major nonlinear principle in pump-probe process (excited-state absorption,stimulated emission and ground-state depletion), the construction of pump-probe microscope,and the current developments and applications of pump-probe microscopy in biomedicine and materials science are discussed.
