Abstract
The far-red temporal and polarization behavior of fat and breast chicken tissue under picosecond 632 and 532 nm pulse illumination is investigated. The tissue samples were illuminated by use of linearly polarized 0.5-ps, 632-nm and 4-ps, 532-nm laser pulses obtained from a pulse compressed modelocked Nd:YAG laser and a R-6G synchronously pumped dye laser. A linearly polarized beam of average power of 20 mW was used to excite the sample. The results demonstrated different temporal and polarization behavior of the far-red emission of the two types of tissue indicating that the fluorophors involved in the emission are different for each illuminating wavelength. The participation of flavins and porphyrins in the far-red emission spectrum is discussed.
