Figure Lengend Snippet: Laser amplification system and electrophysiological setup. (a) Customized infrared neuromodulation laser system with custom-built thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA). ISO, isolator; CPS, cladding power stripper; MPC, multimode pump coupler; PC, polarization controller; AOM, acousto-optic modulator. (b) Schematic representation of the electrophysiological configuration using two-electrode current clamp (TECC) to evaluate the IR light-mediated modulation of the motor axon. V electrode for voltage recording; I electrode for current stimulation.
