Characterization of microstructures fabricated by two-photon polymerization using coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering microscopy.
We demonstrate the possibility to image microstructures fabricated by two-photon polymerization (TPP) using coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. The imaging contrast based on chemical selectivity attained by CARS microscopy is used to gather qualitative information on TPP. Upon the basis of detailed knowledge of the characteristic signatures of the photoresist Raman spectrum...
متن کاملCoherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering polarized microscopy of three-dimensional director structures in liquid crystals
We demonstrate three-dimensional vibrational imaging of director structures in liquid crystals using coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering sCARSd polarized microscopy. Spatial mapping of the structures is based on sensitivity of a polarized CARS signal to the orientation of anisotropic molecules in liquid crystals. As an example, we study structures in a smectic material and demonstrate that si...
متن کاملCoherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Microscopy: Instrumentation, Theory, and Applications
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy permits vibrational imaging with high-sensitivity, high speed, and three-dimensional spatial resolution. We review recent advances in CARS microscopy, including experimental design, theoretical understanding of contrast mechanisms, and applications to chemical and biological systems. We also review the development of multiplex CARS microsp...
متن کاملTheoretical and experimental characterization of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy
We present a systematic characterization of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. CARS signal generation in a heterogeneous sample under a tight-focusing condition is formulated by the Green’s function method. The CARS radiation pattern and the forwardand backward-detected CARS signals from a three-dimensional Raman scatterer are calculated. The coherent nature of CARS image ...
متن کاملNoise figure and photon statistics in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering.
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) is a well-known Raman scattering process that occurs when Stokes, anti-Stokes and pump waves are properly phase-matched. Using a quantum-field approach with Langevin noise sources, we calculate the noise figure for wavelength conversion between the Stokes and anti-Stokes waves in CARS and show its dependence on phase mismatch. Under phase matched con...
