Novel time-resolved CARS implementation for application in microscopy
Fig. 1. (A) Spectrogram of the CS2/benzene mixture with three regions of interest (R1, R2, and R3) highlighted. R1 shows the resonant response from the CS2 656 cm−1 peak, while R2 shows the resonant response of the 991 cm−1 benzene peak. R3 highlights the instrument response function, used to measure the temporal profile of the probe pulse. (B) The instrument response as measured from a lineout in region R3, with a Gaussian fit to the central maximum, with full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of 265 fs.

Fig. 3. (A) The spectrogram of the CS2/benzene mixture obtained by targeting different wavenumbers using quadratic phase spectral focussing and a probe delayed by 800 fs with respect to the pump. (B) The lineouts at 656 cm−1 and 991 cm−1 target wavenumbers, indicating the suppression of the non-resonant background.
