| contents | Providing quantitative interpretation of coherent nonlinear microscopy images, such as third-harmonic generation (THG), is generally hampered by the complex phase-matching conditions, especially in the presence of sample linear heterogeneity. We recently presented a numerical pipeline using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method to take this heterogeneity into account. However, due to software restrictions, we only considered nonlinear materials with diagonal nonlinear susceptibilities. We now expand the recently developed FDTD approach to model nonlinear microscopy for anisotropic materials that obey Kleinman Symmetry, organized in layers along the optical axis, and validate our simulations on well-described geometries. |
