High power solid state lasers are essen-tial for the growing field of optogenet-ics. Neuroscientists are developing abetter understanding of the brain, andas they develop this understanding theyneed more powerful tools to probe thebrain. High power ultrafast lasers fit thisniche, and continue to assist with holo-graphic, temporal focusing, and imag-ing needs for two-photon optogenetics.As new probes are developed, and morecomplex experiments are designed ad-ditional laser power will be required.High power ytterbium based lasers havethe wavelength, high peak power, andshort pulse widths necessary to growwith the requirements of the field.
