Label free nonlinear optical contrast mechanisms such as 2photon auto-fluorescence, harmonic generations, coherent Raman (CARS/SRS) and transient absorption enable molecular imaging in complex media and show promising applications in biology and medicine for in vivo investigations. All these contrast mechanisms result from the interaction of ultra-short laser pulses with matter and require dedicated implementations.
I will review recent developments performed in this field by our group with applications in biology, pharmacology and medicine.Because microscopy is ultimately limited by scattering for deep tissue investigations, I will present our efforts to extend these label free imaging techniques into fibered endoscopic tools.
Bio: Hervé Rigneault obtained an optical engineering degree from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Physique de Marseille in 1991. He obtained his PhD in the field of nonlinear optics in 1993 and joined the CNRS in 1994, working in the field of optical microcavity and single photon sources. In 2000 he created the group Mosaic that has been developing optical tools to address life sciences problems.
He has been active in the fields of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and nanophotonics to study cell membranes at nanoscale. His current research topics are in nonlinear imaging of tissues, coherent Ramanmicroscopy and novel endoscope developments.
