DESCRIPTION:Prof. Hervé Rigneault\, Institut Fresnedl\, Marseille\nLabel 
 free nonlinear optical contrast mechanisms such as 2photon auto-fluorescen
 ce\, harmonic generations\, coherent Raman (CARS/SRS) and transient absorp
 tion enable molecular imaging in complex media and show promising applicat
 ions in biology and medicine for in vivo investigations. All these contras
 t mechanisms result from the interaction of ultra-short laser pulses with 
 matter and require dedicated implementations.\nI will review recent develo
 pments performed in this field by our group with applications in biology\,
  pharmacology and medicine.Because microscopy is ultimately limited by sca
 ttering for deep tissue investigations\, I will present our efforts to ext
 end these label free imaging techniques into fibered endoscopic tools.\nBi
 o: Hervé Rigneault obtained an optical engineering degree from the Ecole 
 Nationale Supérieure de Physique de Marseille in 1991. He obtained his Ph
 D in the field of nonlinear optics in 1993 and joined the CNRS in 1994\, w
 orking in the field of optical microcavity and single photon sources. In 2
 000 he created the group Mosaic that has been developing optical tools to 
 address life sciences problems.\nHe has been active in the fields of fluor
 escence correlation spectroscopy and nanophotonics to study cell membranes
  at nanoscale. His current research topics are in nonlinear imaging of tis
 sues\, coherent Ramanmicroscopy and novel endoscope developments.
