Optical Biopsy of Human Skin with Backward-Collected Optical Harmonics Signals

Combining backward-collected second- and third-harmonic signals, noninvasive optical biopsy of human skin is demonstrated. With backward collection geometry and energy-conservation characteristic of harmonic generations, this technique is ideal for future noninvasive clinical skin disease diagnosis
