Abstract
Identifying brain-tissue types holds significant research value in the biomedical field of non-contact brain-tissue measurement applications. In this paper, a layered metastructure is proposed, and the second harmonic generation (SHG) in a multilayer metastructure is derived using the transfer matrix method. With the SHG conversion efficiency (CE) as the measurement signal, the refractive index ranges that can be distinguished are 1.23~1.31 refractive index unit (RIU) and 1.38~1.44 RIU, with sensitivities of 0.8597 RIU-1 and 1.2967 RIU-1, respectively. It can distinguish various brain tissues, including gray matter, white matter, and low-grade glioma, achieving the function of a second harmonic mode sensor (SHMS). Furthermore, temperature has a significant impact on the SHG CE, which can be used to define the switch signal indicating whether the SHMS is functioning properly. When the temperature range is 291.4~307.9 Kelvin (K), the temperature switch is in the "open" state, and the optimal SHG CE is higher than 0.298%, indicating that the SHMS is in the working state. For other temperature ranges, the SHG CE will decrease significantly, indicating that the temperature switch is in the "off" state, and the SHMS is not working. By stimulating temperature and using the response of SHG CE, the temperature-switch function is achieved, providing a new approach for temperature-controlled second harmonic detection.
