Advanced instrumentation for non‐linear Raman microscopy

Abstract

Abstract Over the past several years, there was a renaissance of non‐linear Raman microscopy based on coherent anti‐Stokes Raman spectroscopy. We propose and experimentally implement a novel approach to construct an apparatus for non‐linear Raman imaging. The complete set‐up can be constructed for <$50 000 and can be used for a large variety of spectroscopic applications including CARS microscopy and non‐linear optical sensing.
