Synchronized time-lens source for coherent Raman scattering microscopy

Synchronized time-lens source is a promising source solution for coherent Raman scattering (CRS) microscopy. Contrary to conventional (single) time-lens source which is driven by electrical signals from a fixed-frequency radio-frequency (RF) source, the synchronized time-lens source is driven by electrical signals from optoelectronic detection of the optical output of the mode-locked laser to w...

Achromatic miniature lens system for coherent Raman scattering microscopy.

We discuss the design and performance of a miniature objective lens optimized for coherent Raman scattering microscopy. The packaged lens assembly has a numerical aperture of 0.51 in water and an outer diameter of 8 mm. The lens system exhibits minimum chromatic aberrations, and produces coherent Raman scattering images with sub-micrometer lateral resolution (0.648 μm) using near-infrared excit...

Polarization coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy.

We report polarization coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (P-CARS) microscopy that allows vibrational imaging with high sensitivity and spectral selectivity. The nonresonant background signals from both Raman scatterers and the solvent are efficiently suppressed in P-CARS microscopy. We demonstrate P-CARS imaging of unstained cells based on the contrast of the protein amide I band.

High-sensitivity coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy with two tightly synchronized picosecond lasers.

We demonstrate a significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratio in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy/microscopy, using two highly synchronized picosecond Ti:sapphire lasers. A temporal jitter between the pulse trains from the two independent commercial lasers is reduced from a few picoseconds to ~21 fs , maintained over several hours. The tight synchronization brings t...

Single laser source for multimodal coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy.

Short laser pulse technology has significantly contributed to biomedical research, especially via nonlinear optical microscopy. Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy is a label-free, chemical-selective method that is growing in importance as improved methods and light sources develop. Here we discuss different approaches to laser source development for CARS microscopy and high...
