Simultaneous second-harmonic generation, third-harmonic generation, and four-wave mixing microscopy with single sub-8 fs laser pulses
We demonstrate a compact pulse compression scheme that offers flexible chirp control for improved conversion efficiencies in high resolution nonlinear optical microscopy. An Er:fiber laser combined with a highly nonlinear optical fiber yields pulses centered at 1100 nm with a bandwidth of 500 nm. The compressed pulses with a duration of 7.6 fs enable simultaneous second-harmonic generation, thi...
متن کاملSignal epidetection in third-harmonic generation microscopy of turbid media.
Third-harmonic generation (THG) imaging of thick samples or large organisms requires TH light to be epicollected through the focusing objective. In this study we first estimate the amount of backward-to-forward TH radiation created by an isolated object as a function of size and spatial frequencies in the object. Theory and model experiments indicate that no significant signal can be epidetecte...
متن کاملResonant third harmonic generation of KrF laser in Ar gas.
Investigations of emission of harmonics from argon gas jet irradiated by 700 fs, 5 mJ pulses from a KrF laser are presented. Harmonics conversion was optimized by varying the experimental geometry and the nozzle size. For the collection of the harmonic radiation silicon and solar-blind diamond semiconductor detectors equipped with charge preamplifiers were applied. The possibility of using a si...
متن کاملSecond Harmonic Generation Signal from Biological Materials Using Multi-Functional Two-Photon Laser Scanning Microscopy
The nonlinear optical effect, such as two-photon (Denk et al., 1990) and three-photon (Maiti et al., 1997; Schrader et al., 1997; Wokosin et al., 1996) fluorescence significantly improved the depth resolution and reduced the background noise. The nonlinear optical techniques have been used to develop a new generation of optical microscopes with novel capabilities. These new capabilities include...
متن کاملImaging Caenorhabditis elegans embryogenesis by third-harmonic generation microscopy.
In this study, third-harmonic generation (THG) imaging measurements were performed to characterize different developmental stages of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) embryos. Femtosecond laser pulses (1028 nm) were utilized for excitation. THG image contrast modality proved as a powerful diagnostic tool, providing valuable information and offering new insights into the complex d...
