The Ubiquity of 4-Dimensional Dynamics Complex Dynamics • Ubiquitous • Often involves 4-D function of space and time in wide scales • Great impacts to many sciences and industries
Holography: Capturing Fast4-Dimensional Dynamics HPIV Recording Reconstruction Holographic Particle Image Velocimetry (HPIV) • Samples the dynamic system with microparticles • Records 3D particle images in one snapshot with holography • Extracts particle velocity through double-exposure • Temporal sampling window: 10 ns – 100 fs

Holography Going Second Harmonic Harmonic Holography (H2) • Imaging at 2nd harmonic frequency • Femtosecond NIR excitation • Non-centrosymmetric nanocrystal markers • Dark-field imaging Holography for Microscopy • Imaging at fundamental frequency • Nanoparticles as tracers • Background scattering
Why Second Harmonic? Second Harmonic Generation… • is a coherent two-photon process • requires non-centrosymmetric crystal structures • is not allowed in centrosymetric and isotropic materials (gases, liquids, and most biological tissues)
Principle of H2 Microscopy Fluorescence Microscopy (2D) H2 Microscopy (Whole-field 3D)
H2 Imaging @ 2nd Harmonic Sample: • 100 nm BaTiO3 in cubic phase (centrosymmetric) • Sintered at 1000ºC for one hour • Converted to tetragonal phase (non-centrosymmetric) • Forms large size (microns) clusters Holography: • Digitally recorded hologram • Computational reconstruction of images • Numerical correction of aberration by ray-tracing

Signal to Noise Ratio SNR Advantage: 4.36 (1 pulse) 2.32 (5 pulses) 1.83 (10 pulses) Aberration Correction + Read Noise Removal Aberration Correction
Field Resonance Enhanced Second Harmonic (FRESH) FRESH Principle • Analogous to Fluorescent Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) • Exciter (metal nanostructure) enhances local electric field • Probe (non-centrosymmetric nanocrystal) probes the enhanced field and emits drastically increased second harmonic signal • I(2w) E(w)4
