Second-harmonic optical diffraction tomography (2405.11398v1)
Abstract: Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) has emerged as an important label-free tool in biomedicine to measure the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a biological sample. In this paper, we describe ODT using second-harmonic generation (SHG) which is a coherent nonlinear optical process with a strict symmetry selectivity and has several advantages over traditional fluorescence methods. We report the tomographic retrieval of the 3D second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility using two-dimensional holographic measurements of the SHG fields at different illumination angles and polarization states. The method is a generalization of the conventional linear ODT to the nonlinear scenario. We demonstrate the method with a numerically simulated nanoparticle distribution and an experiment with muscle tissue fibers. Our results show that SHG ODT does not only provide an effective contrast mechanism for label-free imaging but also due to the symmetry requirement enables the visualization of properties that are not otherwise accessible.
