We report on two-photon excited fluorescence interference patterns produced by spatial laser beam shaping. Thereto, a focused spatially modulated laser beam component is overlapped with an unfocused Gaussian beam component, and both are directed on a cuvette filled with dye. The phase retardance between the two common path laser components is precisely adjusted by a 2D liquid crystal modulator. With this method it is possible to generate various fluorescence patterns which exhibit sharp features and a high contrast due to constructive and destructive interference of a two-photon excitation process. The developed spatial shaping interference technique with two-photon excitations has a high potential for optical and biophotonic imaging applications.
