Abstract: We report a theoretical study of second-harmonic generation (SHG) from the collagen fibrils which have a tilt angle Φ between their axes with the plane of the polarization angle α of the linearly polarized focused light. The effects of Φ as well as α on SHG emission have been investigated. Our results show that the total strength of SHG electrical field (E2ω) and power (P2ω) reach their maximal values as Φ locates at a certain angle, here it is around 27° under all demonstrated α. When Φ 27°, they quickly drops. Specially, E2ω and P2ω are almost undetectable when Φ ≥ 45°. Also, Φ influences the distribution pattern of E2ω, P2ω and their parallel (E2ω,p, P2ω,p) and perpendicular (E2ω,s, P2ω,s) components, such as the number of emission lobes and shape. α has unevenly impact on E2ω and P2ω, the far deviation of α from x axis induce much great decrease of E2ω and P2ω. α = 45° has special influence on the distribution pattern of E2ω,s, E2ω, P2ω,s as well as P2ω compared to those of α = 0° and 90°.
