User Facilities w/ 980nm Laser

I have been asked to look into developing a method to examine a material
sample (4uM x 3000uM) with a 980nm CW laser and collect light at 1060nm.
Spatial resolution still needs to be defined but I expect the resolution will need
to be fairly high.

Prior to purchasing any components, I would like to do some proof of concept
measurements at a user facilty that already has the appropriate laser and
detector. I would appreciate hearing from you if you know of such a facility,
preferably in the NE of the USA,  that I can gain access to and try running a
few samples.

If you know anyone in your area with a 2-photon Ti:Saph laser you could use that; they're usually pulsed, but it is possible to run them in CW mode and most of them can be tuned to 980.  Just check with the local imaging labs.
