Interferometric second harmonic generation microscopy.
We describe a novel second harmonic generation (SHG) microscope that employs heterodyne detection by interfering the epi directed SHG from a sample with SHG from a reference crystal. In addition, the microscope provides complementary reflectance information based on optical coherence microscopy (OCM). The instrument features dual balanced detection to minimize the effect of source fluctuations,...
متن کاملTwo Photon Microscopy and Second Harmonic Generation
Nonlinear microscopy has become an important tool for imaging biological samples such as neurons. In two photon fluorescence, a fluorophore absorbs two photons at a low energy state, one of its electrons briefly converts to a higher energy state, and it emits a single excited photon at an energy level higher than that of the absorbed photons. In second harmonic generation (SHG), laser light is ...
متن کاملHigh Contrast Interferometric Second Harmonic Generation Microscopy Probes the Polarity of Fibrils in Complex Collagenous Tissues
In recent years, Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) microscopy has emerged as a powerful technique to image in situ non-centrosymmetric structures in tissues. In particular, SHG appears to be a very sensitive structural probe of the 3D architecture of collagen, a major structural protein of vertebrates, in biological tissues. However, due to the coherence of SHG, the signal intensity depends not ...
متن کاملSimultaneous four-photon luminescence, third-harmonic generation, and second-harmonic generation microscopy of GaN.
We demonstrate what is to our knowledge the first example of four-photon luminescence microscopy in GaN and apply it to quality mapping of bulk GaN. The simultaneously acquired second- and third-harmonic generation can be used to map the distribution of the piezoelectric field and the band-tail state density, respectively. Through spectrum- and power-dependent studies, the fourth power dependen...
متن کاملPolarization-Modulated Second Harmonic Generation Ellipsometric Microscopy at Video Rate
Fast 8 MHz polarization modulation coupled with analytical modeling, fast beam-scanning, and synchronous digitization (SD) have enabled simultaneous nonlinear optical Stokes ellipsometry (NOSE) and polarized laser transmittance imaging with image acquisition rates up to video rate. In contrast to polarimetry, in which the polarization state of the exiting beam is recorded, NOSE enables recovery...
