Enhancing coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering background suppression with phase cycled structured femtosecond laser pulses

Conference Paper

We demonstrate a homodyne coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering technique based on femtosecond laser pulse shaping (phase-cycling). This technique utilizes a self-generated non-resonant background as a local oscillator to retrieve phase information of the Raman signal. © 2010 OSA/FiO/LS 2010.
