A frequency-conversion efficiency of ∼40% is reached. These techniques can be divided in two main categories: incoherent and coherent. Since this is a first-generation THI, there are inherent limitations in tissue penetration. This is enabled by tightly focused and highly localized ultrashort laser pulses. Once the conversion efficiency and thus pump depletion becomes significant, the further rise of second-harmonic power becomes slower. Acta Physica Sinica 2020, 69 (18) , 184210. The fundamental resonance is at 1800 nm, leading to generated second harmonic below the GaAs band gap. Here, we demonstrate that second harmonic generating (SHG) nanoprobes can be used for in vivo imaging, circumventing many of the limitations of classical fluorescence probes. Another aspect of this work has centered on developing diagnostics transferable from UHV to “real-world” environments.

Second-harmonic generation (SHG, also called frequency doubling) is a nonlinear optical process in which two photons with the same frequency interact with a nonlinear material, are "combined", and generate a new photon with twice the energy of the initial photons (equivalently, twice the frequency and half the wavelength), that conserves the coherence of the excitation.
