Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Correlation Spectroscopy: Probing Dynamical Processes with Chemical Selectivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering correlation spectroscopy (CARS-CS) that measures the fluctuation of the CARS signal from scatterers in a subfemtoliter excitation volume. This method probes dynamical processes with chemical selectivity based on vibration spectroscopy. High-sensitivity CARS-CS measurements are carried out with epi-detection or polarization-sensitive detection. Theoretical expressions of CARS intensity autocorrelation functions are derived and supported by experimental data. The properties of CARS-CS are characterized with measurements of diffusion dynamics of small polystyrene spheres.

متن کاملProlonged-excitation coherent Raman spectroscopy with spectral resolution beyond the transition linewidth using two tunable picosecond dye lasers
Received June 11, 1984; accepted September 20, 1984 A time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman technique is demonstrated that yields a spectral resolution beyond the linewidth obtained in spontaneous Raman spectroscopy. Two picosecond dye lasers, independently tunable with low timing jitter, are used. The coherent material excitation is generated by long pump pulses and monitored by short delay...

Time-resolved pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy using picosecond-duration laser pulses is investigated for gas thermometry. The use of picosecond laser pulses significantly reduces background caused by scattering of the probe beam, and delayed probing of the Raman coherence enables elimination of interference from nonresonant four-wave mixing processes. Temperatures inferr...

A sensitive, non-destructive and highly selective method of standoff detection using coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is presented. The approach uses a single amplified femtosecond laser to generate high resolution (<10cm) multiplex CARS spectra encompassing the fingerprint region (400cm – 2500cm) at standoff distance. Quantitative studies of this method result in detection of 2μg...
