Hyperspectral volumetric coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering microscopy: quantitative volume determination and NaCl as non‐resonant standard
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we demonstrate quantitative volume determination of chemical components in three dimensions using hyperspectral coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy, phase-corrected Kramers-Kronig retrieval of the coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering susceptibility and factorization into concentration of chemical components. We investigate the influence of the refractive index contrast between water and polymer beads (polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate), showing that it leads mainly to concentration errors, while the spectral error is less affected. The volume of polystyrene beads of sizes from 200 nm to 3 μm is determined with 10% relative error and 1% absolute error in the region of interest. We furthermore establish the use of sodium chloride as non-resonant reference material free of Raman-active vibrational resonances.

Quantitative image analysis of broadband CARS microscopy hyperspectral images of polymer blends
We demonstrate that broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy can be very useful for fast acquisition of quantitative chemical images of multilayer polymer blends. Since a raw CARS signal results from coherent interference of resonant Raman and nonresonant background, its intensity is not linearly proportional to the concentration of molecules of interest, and it is chal...

We introduce an interferometric technique for eliminating the non-resonant background of broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. CARS microscopy has been used for imaging a number of biological samples and processes, but the studies are mostly limited to detecting lipids in biological systems by probing the C-H stretch. Non-resonant background and incoherent noise sou...

In this work, we report a method to acquire and analyze hyperspectral coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy images of organic materials and biological samples resulting in an unbiased quantitative chemical analysis. The method employs singular value decomposition on the square root of the CARS intensity, providing an automatic determination of the components above noise, which...
متن کاملVisualizing resonances in the complex plane with vibrational phase contrast coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering.
In coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), the emitted signal carries both amplitude and phase information of the molecules in the focal volume. Most CARS experiments ignore the phase component, but its detection allows for two advantages over intensity-only CARS. First, the pure resonant response can be determined, and the nonresonant background rejected, by extracting the imaginary comp...
