摘要

Nonlinear microscopy has become an indispensable tool in the study of biological systems. It includes many nonlinear contrast mechanisms, each sensitive to different biological structures. However, interpretation of the images generated in nonlinear microscopy is a complex matter due to factors such as the structural complexity of the sample, phase relationships between the excitation beam and the detected signal and the nonlinear interactions in the focal volume of the microscope.;This thesis contains a new theoretical and numerical framework that describes the focusing of an excitation beam in a nonlinear microscope, the nonlinear optical interactions with the material in the focal volume, and the resulting nonlinear optical signal in the far field. The framework is the first to include reflection and refraction of the excitation beam and nonlinear signals by an arbitrary number of interfaces in the focal volume, which is especially significant for the interpretation of third harmonic generation (THG). It also uses the chirp-z transform to speed up calculations by orders of magnitude compared to numerical integration techniques.;The framework is used to investigate second harmonic generation (SHG) by collagen. Focusing effects alter polarization-dependent SHG measurements of collagen properties compared to the plane wave approximation, and this is verified experimentally. Furthermore, a technique of imaging the far field SHG radiation from collagen fibres is proposed, which can be used to extract the orientation of collagen fibres unambiguously. The framework is then applied to analyze the influence of interfaces on THG. Reflection effects at interfaces significantly affect THG, which leads to the development of a new super-resolution THG imaging technique based on backward-propagating THG. This super-resolution technique is experimentally demonstrated by imaging surface profiles with tens of nanometers resolution, which is the first time that such resolution is obtained in coherent nonlinear microscopy. Therefore, this imaging technique shows promise to become an important tool in high-resolution imaging of (biological) samples.;The theoretical and numerical framework provides a foundation for future research on the origin of nonlinear microscopy signals. The new imaging techniques based on this framework have great potential in quantifying fibrillar structures and interfaces in biological samples.
