Abstract
Measurements of the angular divergence of optical second harmonic generation in rat-tail tendon reveal a very narrow forward peak. This implies the existence of coherent order and, together with the demonstration of nonlinear susceptibility components d33 and d32, confirms prior indications that the tendon is polar. Some biological consequences of this polarity are considered.
