Frequency doubling and tripling of ultrashort laser pulses in biological tissues
Description:
Structural proteins such as collagen and elastin are known to generate second harmonic at high laser intensities. Second and third harmonic generations (SHG, THG) of 0.4 ps Ti-Sapphire laser radiation at 800 nm were observed in various biological tissues. Dependence of SHG on laser pulse energy and pulse width was investigated. Reflected second harmonic yield was measured for animal tissue <i>in vitro</i> and human skin <i>in vivo</i>. The yield varies about a factor of 20 for various areas of …
