Invention:
This technology is an all-fiber, single-cavity, free-running, dual-comb laser system based on spectral focusing. This technique can be used in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy (CARS) and label-free imaging for a variety of applications.
Background:
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy (CARS) is a form of spectroscopy used primarily in chemistry, physics, and related fields. It employs multiple photons to address molecular vibrations and produces a coherent signal. A benefit of CARS is the it is a label-free imaging technique that can be used in species that do not fluoresce.
Applications:
- Coherent Raman Spectroscopy
- Label-free imaging
Advantages:
- Bidirectional laser
- Spectral focusing
- Laser shift from 1560nm to 1060nm
