Abstract
The tuning of second (SHG) and third (THG) harmonic emission is studied in the model system LiNb 1-xTa xO 3 (0≤x≤1, LNT) between the established edge compositions lithium niobate (LiNbO 3, x=0, LN) and lithium tantalate (LiTaO 3, x=1, LT). Thus, the existence of optical nonlinearities of the second and third order is demonstrated in the ferroelectric solid solution system, and the question about the suitability of LNT in the field of nonlinear and quantum optics, in particular as a promising nonlinear optical material for frequency conversion with tunable composition, is addressed. For this purpose, harmonic generation is studied in nanosized crystallites of mechanochemically synthesized LNT using nonlinear diffuse reflectometry with wavelength-tunable fundamental femtosecond laser pulses from 1200 nm to 2000 nm. As a result, a gap-free harmonic emission is validated that accords with the theoretically expected energy relations, dependencies on intensity and wavelength, as well as spectral bandwidths for harmonic generation. The SHG/THG harmonic ratio ≫1 is characteristic of the ferroelectric bulk nature of the LNT nanocrystallites. We can conclude that LNT is particularly attractive for applications in nonlinear optics that benefit from the possibility of the composition-dependent control of mechanical, electrical, and/or optical properties.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as promising tools in biomedical applications, owing to their inherent physicochemical properties and their ease of functionalization. In all potential applications, the surface functionalization strategy is a key step to ensure that NPs are able to overcome the barriers encountered in physiological media, while introducing specific reactive moieties to enable post-functionalization. Silanization appears as a versatile NP-coating strategy, due to the biocompatibility and stability of silica, thus justifying the need for robust and well controlled silanization protocols. Herein, we describe a procedure for the silica coating of harmonic metal oxide NPs (LiNbO3, LNO) using a water-in-oil microemulsion (W/O ME) approach. Through optimized ME conditions, the silanization of LNO NPs was achieved by the condensation of silica precursors (TEOS, APTES derivatives) on the oxide surface, resulting in the formation of coated NPs displaying carboxyl (LNO@COOH) or azide (LNO@N3) reactive moieties. LNO@COOH NPs were further conjugated to an unnatural azido-containing small peptide to obtain silica-coated LNO NPs (LNO@Talys), displaying both azide and carboxyl moieties, which are well suited for biomedical applications due to the orthogonality of their surface functional groups, their colloidal stability in aqueous medium, and their anti-fouling properties.

Abstract
Polyvinylidene fluoride and its copolymers are a well-known family of low-cost ferroelectric materials widely used for the fabrication of devices for a wide range of applications. A biocompatibility, high optical quality, chemical and mechanical durability of poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene), (P(VDF–TrFE)), makes it particularly attractive for designing of effective coating layers for different diagnostic techniques. In the present work, the nonlinear optical characterization of P(VDF-TrFE)-coating films deposited onto a glass substrate was done. Advantages of the coating application for cells/substrates in the field of multiphoton imaging the efficiency of such coating layer for long-duration characterization of so-called harmonic nanoparticles (HNPs) were shown. The influence of glass surface protection by P(VDF-TrFE) film from an effect of HNPs sticking to the walls of the flow-cell was analyzed for effective studying of the optical harmonics generation efficiency of HNPs making the analysis more robust.

Abstract
We introduce a nonlinear all-optical theranostics protocol based on the excitation wavelength decoupling between imaging and photoinduced damage of human cancer cells labeled by bismuth ferrite (BFO) harmonic nanoparticles (HNPs). To characterize the damage process, we rely on a scheme for in situ temperature monitoring based on upconversion nanoparticles: by spectrally resolving the emission of silica coated NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles in close vicinity of a BFO HNP, we show that the photointeraction upon NIR-I excitation at high irradiance is associated with a temperature increase >100 °C. The observed laser-cell interaction implies a permanent change of the BFO nonlinear optical properties, which can be used as a proxy to read out the outcome of a theranostics procedure combining imaging at 980 nm and selective cell damage at 830 nm. The approach has potential applications to monitor and treat lesions within NIR light penetration depth in tissues.

Abstract
The design of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers has raised much attention to achieve higher local concentration of therapeutics and mitigate the appearance of drug resistance. The combination of imaging properties and controlled photorelease of active molecules within the same nanoconjugate has a great potential for theranostic applications. In this study, a system for NIR light-triggered release of molecular cargos induced by the second harmonic emission from bismuth ferrite harmonic nanoparticles (BFO HNPs) is presented. Silica-coated BFO HNPs were covalently conjugated to a photocaging tether based on coumarin (CM) and l-tryptophan (Trp) as a model molecular cargo. Upon femtosecond pulsed irradiation at 790 nm, Trp was efficiently released from the NP surface in response to the harmonic emission of the nanomaterial at 395 nm. The emitted signal induced the photocleavage of the CM-Trp carbamate linkage resulting in the release of Trp, which was monitored and quantified by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS). While a small fraction of the uncaging process could be attributed to the nonlinear absorption of CM derivatives, the main trigger responsible for Trp release was established as the second harmonic signal from BFO HNPs. This strategy may provide a new way for the application of functionalized HNPs in dual imaging delivery theranostic protocols.

Abstract
In order to assess the therapeutic potential of cell-based strategies, it is of paramount importance to elaborate and validate tools for monitoring the behavior of injected cells in terms of tissue dissemination and engraftment properties. Here, we apply bismuth ferrite harmonic nanoparticles (BFO HNPs) to in vitro expanded human skeletal muscle-derived stem cells (hMuStem cells), an attractive therapeutic avenue for patients suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We demonstrate the possibility of stem cell labeling with HNPs. We also show that the simultaneous acquisition of second- and third-harmonic generation (SHG and THG) from BFO HNPs helps separate their response from tissue background, with a net increase in imaging selectivity, which could be particularly important in pathologic context that is defined by a highly remodelling tissue. We demonstrate the possibility of identifying <100 nm HNPs in depth of muscle tissue at more than 1 mm from the surface, taking full advantage of the extended imaging penetration depth allowed by multiphoton microscopy in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II). Based on this successful assessment, we monitor over 14 days any modification on proliferation and morphology features of hMuStem cells upon exposure to PEG-coated BFO HNPs at different concentrations, revealing their high biocompatibility. Successively, we succeed in detecting individual HNP-labeled hMuStem cells in skeletal muscle tissue after their intramuscular injection.
