Monte Carlo simulation of polarization‐sensitive second‐harmonic generation and propagation in biological tissue
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Polarization-sensitive second harmonic generation (p-SHG) is a nonlinear optical microscopy technique that has shown great promise in biomedicine, such as in detecting changes in the collagen ultrastructure of the tumor microenvironment. However, the complex nature of light-tissue interactions and the heterogeneity of biological samples pose challenges in creating an analytical and experimental quantification platform for tissue characterization via p-SHG. We present a Monte Carlo (MC) p-SHG simulation model based on double Stokes-Mueller polarimetry for the investigation of nonlinear light-tissue interaction. The MC model predictions are compared with experimental measurements of second-order nonlinear susceptibility component ratio and degree of polarization (DOP) in rat-tail collagen. The observed trends in the behavior of these parameters as a function of tissue thickness, as well as the overall extent of agreement between MC and experimental results, are discussed. High sensitivities of the susceptibility ratio and DOP are observed for the varying tissue thickness on the incoming fundamental light propagation pathway.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
