Abstract

A flexible fiber-optic endomicroscopy system was developed for nonlinear optical imaging of biological samples. Double-clad fiber and photonic bandgap fiber were employed in the endomicroscope for femtosecond pulse delivery, dispersion compensation, nonlinear optical signals collection and fast beam scanning. Three-dimensional imaging of biological tissues based on second harmonic generation and two-photon excited fluorescence was performed with the endomicroscope. The depth-resolved imaging results strongly suggest the potential of this flexible fiber-optic microscope system for real-time assessment of both epithelial and stromal structures in luminal organs.
