Abstract

We report a novel Fourier-transform-based implementation of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. The method employs a single femtosecond laser source and a Michelson interferometer to create two pulse replicas that are fed into a scanning multiphoton microscope. By varying the time delay between the pulses, we time-resolve the CARS signal, permitting easy removal of the nonresonant background while providing high resolution, spectrally resolved images of CARS modes over the laser bandwidth (1500cm1). We demonstrate the method by imaging polystyrene beads in solvent.
