Far-infrared sum-frequency generation wide-field microscopy — •Richarda Niemann, Riko Kießling, Christopher Winta, Sören Waßerroth, Yujin Tong, Martin Wolf, and Alexander Paarmann — Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Berlin, Germany
Super-resolution microscopy typically makes use of nonlinear-optical effects, such as multi-photon absorption or stimulated emission depletion microscopy, to overcome the diffraction limit of optical beams. In the infrared spectral range, infrared-visible sum-frequency generation (SFG) can provide vibrational contrast with a spatial resolution ultimately limited by the visible SFG wavelength [1]. In particular for far-infrared SFG, this would enable imaging resolution well below λIR/100.
As a proof-of-concept, we recently demonstrated SFG microscopy beyond infrared wavelength of 10 µm for surface phonon polariton resonance imaging [2], using a scanning-focus method. In the current work, we introduce our new approach of SFG wide-field microscopy [1]. Specifically for high-intensity, low-repetition rate lasers, the usage of wide-field nonlinear imaging efficiently avoids otherwise ubiquitous sample damage problems. Here, the laser focal size is adapted to the field-of-view of the imaging system, reducing the laser fluence without deteriorating the microscopes resolution [1].
