Spatially encoded polarization-dependent nonlinear optics

Abstract

A single fixed optic is combined with the sample translation capabilities inherent to most microscopes to achieve precise polarization-dependent second harmonic generation microscopy measurements of thin tissue sections. Although polarization measurements have enabled detailed structural analysis of collagen, challenges in integrating rotation stages or fast electro-optic/photoelastic modulation have complicated the retrofitting of existing systems for precise polarization analysis. Placing a static microretarder array in the rear conjugate plane resulted in spatially encoded polarization modulation across the field of view. A complete set of polarization rotation measurements was acquired at each pixel by sample translation, recovering local-frame tensors relating to structure within collagenous tissue.
