COHERENTLY CONTROLLED NONLINEAR RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY AND MICROSCOPY

摘要

A method and system are presented for producing an output coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering (CARS) signal of a medium. The method comprises generation of a unitary optical excitation pulse that carries a pump photon, a Stokes photon and a probe photon; and inducing a CARS process in the medium by exciting the medium by the at least one such unitary optical excitation pulse.
