Abstract

A study using a multi-modal nonlinear microscopy which revealed nonlinear optical activities in naturally occurring biophotonic crystalline structures was presented. The micro-spectrum measured from the cell wall in maize stem was shown. It was concluded that the simple harmonic generation (SHG) signals were the result of the orderly stacked thylakoid membranes in grana and the highly birefringent starch granules inside the chloroplasts.
