CARSIMAGE: Two-beams single fiber-end source for stimulated Raman and nonlinear microscopy

The laser is made of a single source and is designed to induce a 4-wave mixing effect by the spectral focusing technique, to make Raman analysis be biocompatible through the Stimulated Raman microscopy. It allows the vibration frequency of interest to be modified very quickly, while conserving the efficiency.

Only one source instead of two:

• Cheap
• Small

Easy to tune :

• No need for superposition settings (user friendly)
• Vibration frequency can be modified very quickly

Embeddable : it fits with mainstream microscopes (fiber laser)

• no modification of the seed source
• works with widespread Ti:Sa laser sources

Automatable
Works with Stimulated Raman imaging and Nonlinear imaging (fluorescence, second harmonic)
Primary laser beam stays available
