This project objective was to build a fluorescent microscope that would evoke the up-conversion energy process of doped nanoparticles by pumping 1550 nm coherent light into a sample and capture the emitted 980 nm wavelength via avalanche photodetector. The end goal was to image with the data and integrate a squeeze light source that might enhance the up-conversion process. Possible applications for this concept were mainly medical, for using nanoparticles to help image inside cells inside the body.
