Subharmonic synchronization of two-color laser pulses for stimulated Raman scattering microscopy

We successfully demonstrate low-jitter synchronization of a 38-MHz Yb-fiber oscillator to a 76-MHz Ti:sapphire oscillator with a two-photon detector and an intra-cavity electro-optic modulator for sensitive lock-in detection of stimulated Raman signal in biological microscopy.
