Stimulated Raman scattering imaging by continuous-wave laser excitation.

چکیده
We demonstrate a low-cost-stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscope using continuous-wave (cw) lasers as excitation sources. A dual modulation scheme is used to remove the electronic background. The cw-SRS imaging of lipids in fatty liver is demonstrated by excitation of C─H stretch vibration.

Implications of laser light characteristics on the Raman signal-to-noise ratio in diagnostic analysis of glioblastoma multiforme
The presented work is part of a study investigating the surgical diagnostic potential of Raman spectroscopy for the malignant brain tumor, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This work examines the trade-off of increased Raman signal observed using excitation at lower wavelengths (1/X4 signal dependence) versus the fluorescence caused by endogenous tissue fluorophores at those wavelengths. Within th...
متن کاملA Time-Encoded Technique for fibre-based hyperspectral broadband stimulated Raman microscopy
Raman sensing and microscopy are among the most specific optical technologies to identify the chemical compounds of unknown samples, and to enable label-free biomedical imaging. Here we present a method for stimulated Raman scattering spectroscopy and imaging with a time-encoded (TICO) Raman concept. We use continuous wave, rapidly wavelength-swept probe lasers and combine them with a short-dut...
متن کاملResonant secondary light emission from plasmonic Au nanostructures at high electron temperatures created by pulsed-laser excitation.
Plasmonic nanostructures are of great current interest as chemical sensors, in vivo imaging agents, and for photothermal therapeutics. We study continuous-wave (cw) and pulsed-laser excitation of aqueous suspensions of Au nanorods as a model system for secondary light emission from plasmonic nanostructures. Resonant secondary emission contributes significantly to the background commonly observe...
متن کاملModeling continuous-wave Raman lasers: towards an intrinsic heat mitigation mechanism
The invention of the laser in 1960 has been a very important milestone for our presentday society. This remarkable new light source not only triggered a revolution in science and technology but also gave rise to a significant improvement of the quality of our daily life. An important type of laser is the so-called Raman laser, the lasing mechanism of which is based on Stimulated Stokes Raman Sc...
متن کاملFilament-based stimulated Raman spectroscopy
A new multiplexed stimulated Raman spectroscopic technique encompassing a single-shot spectral measurement range of over 3900 cm is presented. Impulsive excitation of all Raman active vibrational modes present in a medium is achieved by self-compression of a laser pulse undergoing filamentation in air, creating coherent vibrational wave-packets. These wave-packets create a macroscopic polarizat...
