Abstract

Third harmonic generation near the focal point of a tightly focused beam is used to probe microscopical structures of transparent samples. The axial resolution at which this method can resolve interfaces and inhomogeneities is shown to be comparable with the confocal length of the beam. Using 125 femtosecond pulses at 1.5 micrometers , we were able to resolve interfaces with a resolution of 1.2 micrometers and to produce 2D cross-sectional images of the samples used.
