Résumé : International audience
We present a theoretical simulation of the sarcomeric SHG intensity pattern (SHG-IP) that takes into account myofibrillar misalignment that is experimentally observed in SHG images of proteolysed muscles. The model predicts that myofibrillar displacement results in the conversion from one peak (1P) to two peaks (2P) sarcomeric SHG-IP in agreement with experimental results. This study suggests that sarcomeric SHG-IP is a powerful tool for mapping spatial myofibrillar displacement and its related excitation-contraction disruption that could occur during muscle physiological adaptation and disease.

Résumé : International audience
We show that the canonical single frequency sarcomeric SHG intensity pattern (SHG-IP) of control muscles is converted to double frequency sarcomeric SHG-IP in preserved mdx mouse gastrocnemius muscles in the vicinity of necrotic fibers. These double frequency sarcomeric SHG-IPs are often spatially correlated to double frequency sarcomeric two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) emitted from Z-line and I-bands and to one centered spot SHG angular intensity pattern (SHG-AIP) suggesting that these patterns are signature of myofibrillar misalignement. This latter is confirmed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Moreover, a good spatial correlation between SHG signature of myofibrillar misalignment and triad reduction is established. Theoretical simulation of sarcomeric SHG-IP is used to demonstrate the correlation between change of SHG-IP and -AIP and myofibrillar misalignment. The extreme sensitivity of SHG microscopy to reveal the submicrometric organization of A-band thick filaments is highlighted. This report is a first step toward future studies aimed at establishing live SHG signature of myofibrillar misalignment involving excitation contraction defects due to muscle damage and disease.

Résumé : International audience
Nanometric displacement measurements by Extrinsic Fiber Fabry-Perot interferometers (EFPI) is extremely susceptible to external environmental changes. Temperature, in particular, has a remarkable influence on the optical power and wavelength of the laser diode in use, in addition to the thermal expansion of the mechanical structure. In this paper we propose an optimization of the EFPI sensor in order to use it for very long-term (more than one year) and for high-precision displacement measurements. For this purpose, a real time and adaptive estimation procedure based on a homodyne technique and a Kalman filter is established. During a sinusoidal laser diode current modulation, the Kalman filter provides a correction of the amplitude drift caused by the resultant optical power modulation and external perturbations. Besides, stationary temperature transfer operators are estimated via experimental measurements to reduce the additive thermal noise induced in the optical phase and mechanical components.

Résumé : International audience
A linear least square (LLS) method is proposed to process polarization dependent SHG intensity analysis at pixel-resolution level in order to provide an analytic solution of nonlinear susceptibility χ(2) coefficients and of fibril orientation. This model is applicable to fibrils with identical orientation in the excitation volume. It has been validated on type I collagen fibrils from cell-free gel, tendon and extracellular matrix of F1 biliary epithelial cells. LLS is fast (a few hundred milliseconds for a 512 × 512 pixel image) and very easy to perform for non-expert in numerical signal processing. Theoretical simulation highlights the importance of signal to noise ratio for accurate determination of nonlinear susceptibility χ(2) coefficients. The results also suggest that, in addition to the peptide group, a second molecular nonlinear optical hyperpolarizability β contributes to the SHG signal. Finally from fibril orientation analysis, results show that F1 cells remodel extracellular matrix collagen fibrils by changing fibril orientation, which might have important physiological function in cell migration and communication.

Résumé : This Letter describes a dual-amplitude modulation technique incorporated into a double reflection extrinsic-type fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer to measure periodic, nonperiodic as well as quasi-static displacements. The modulation scheme simultaneously maintains the interference signal pair in quadrature and provides a reference signal for displacements inferior to a quarter of the source wavelength. The control and phase demodulation of the interferometer carried out via software enable quasi-real-time measurement and facilitates sensor alignment. The sensor system can be exploited in the low frequency range from 10−3 to ∼500 Hz and has a resolution better than 2.2 nm, targeting applications in geophysics.
