We demonstrate a pre-chirp and gain jointly managed Yb-fiber laser that drives simultaneous label-free autofluorescence-multiharmonic (SLAM) medical imaging. We show that a gain managed Yb-fiber amplifier produces high-quality compressed pulses when the seeding pulses exhibit proper negative pre-chirp. The resulting laser source can generate 43-MHz, 34-fs pulses centered at 1110 nm with more than 90-nJ energy. We apply this ultrafast source to SLAM imaging of cellular and extracellular components in various human tissues of intestinal adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and liver.
