The angular dependence of optical 2nd-harmonic generation by native, wet rat tail tendon displayed a sharp, intense, forward peak superimposed on a broad background. The sharp peak implied long-range polar order while the broad background corresponded to that predicted for the random up/down array of collagen fibrils seen with the EM. The degree of polar order was determined, and the dependence of the fibril diameter distribution on age and state of hydration was measured. The coherence length of tendon for harmonic generation and the absolute magnitude of the nonlinear susceptibility of the collagen fibril were determined. The biological significance of these findings is discussed.
