The combination of liquid crystal spatial light modulator, providing radial polarization, with ultrafast laser (picosecond Nd:GdVO4 laser) allowed us to take the advantage of nonlinear optical contrast mechanisms to suppress the side-lobe energy specific for radial polarization and reduce the effective excited volume twice compared to one-photon evanescent wave excitation in fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.fluorescence spectroscopyhigh-speed optical techniqueslight polarisationoptical correlationphoton correlation spectroscopytwo-photon spectroscopyEvanescent-WaveMicroscopyExcitationPolarizationHigh volume confinement in two-photon total-internal- reflection fluorescence correlation spectroscopytext::journal::journal article::research article
