I will review the history of commercial mode-locked lasers from mode-locked Argon ion lasers and Nd:YAG lasers to synchronously pumped dye lasers and the revolution brought on first by Ti:sapphire and then Yb doped lasers. I will conclude with the application of these lasers to the field of multi-photon microscopy.
