Broadband Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
Broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (BCARS) microspectroscopy is a unique label-free imaging modality that provides detailed chemical information at each pixel. In minutes, this technique captures a “hyperspectral” cube that co-registers microscopic spatial features with chemical signatures, sensitive to molecular content and structure. This technique can delve into the molecular inner workings of cells and tissues, illuminating, for example, health and disease, cell function and state. This chapter will provide an overview of BCARS technology, from the basic theory to future directions and demonstrate imaging of histological sections of mouse tissue.

High-spectral-resolution coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering with interferometrically detected broadband chirped pulses.
To achieve high-spectral-resolution multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), one typically uses a narrowband pump pulse and a broadband Stokes pulse. This is to ensure a correspondence between anti-Stokes and vibrational frequencies. We obtain high-resolution CARS spectra of isopropanol, using a broadband chirped pump pulse and a broadband Stokes pulse, by detecting the anti-Stok...
متن کاملBroadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy of nitrogen using a picosecond modeless dye laser.
Broadband picosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy of nitrogen is demonstrated using 145-ps pump and probe beams and a 115-ps Stokes beam with a spectral bandwidth of 5 nm. This is, to our knowledge, the first demonstration of broadband CARS using subnanosecond lasers. The short temporal envelope of the laser pulses and the broadband spectral nature of the Stokes bea...
متن کاملBroadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering in silicon.
In silicon devices, the spectral bandwidth of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) is limited by the narrowband nature of the Raman process in this medium. In this Letter, we report the observation of broadband wavelength conversion in silicon through CARS enhanced by the self-phase-modulation-induced spectral broadening of the optical pump. The CARS conversion over a bandwidth substant...
متن کاملOne-laser interferometric broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering.
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...
