Abstract
Ever since researchers realised that microscopy based on nonlinear optical effects can provide information that is blind to conventional linear techniques, applying nonlinear optical imaging to in vivo medical diagnosis in humans has been the ultimate goal. The development of nonlinear optical endoscopy that permits imaging under conditions in which a conventional nonlinear optical microscope cannot be used is the primary method to extend applications of nonlinear optical microscopy toward this goal. Fibreoptic approaches that allow for remote delivery and collection in a minimally invasive manner are normally used in nonlinear optical endoscopy. In Chapter 4, a compact nonlinear optical microscope based on a single-mode fibre (SMF) coupler to replace complicated bulk optics was described.
