The quest for ultrahigh detection sensitivity with spectroscopic contrasts other than
fluorescence has led to various novel approaches to optical microscopy of biological …

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy is widely used for measuring
temperature and species concentration in reacting flows. This paper reviews the advances …

Spontaneous Raman (SR) microscopy allows label‐free chemically specific imaging based
on the vibrational response of molecules; however, due to the low Raman scattering cross …

The field of quantum coherent control, initially formulated with the goal of modifying and
manipulating molecular systems, has had a number of applications in atomic and molecular …

Abstract Coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy is presented as a new
nonlinear optical technique. The combination of vibrational spectroscopy and microscopy …

The ability to observe samples qualitatively at the microscopic scale has greatly enhanced
our understanding of the physical and biological world throughout the 400 year history of …

Breakthroughs in biology often arise from the development of new microscopy tools. Our
understanding of biological systems has greatly benefited from the studies with electron …

Raman imaging has long been used to probe the chemical nature of a sample, providing
information on molecular orientation, symmetry and structure with sub-micron spatial …

An experimental evaluation of the information content of two complimentary techniques,
linear Raman and coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy, is presented …

We demonstrate heterodyne detection of CARS signals using a cascaded phase-preserving
chain to generate the CARS input wavelengths and a coherent local oscillator. The …
