Abstract
Subnanosecond supercontinuum (SC) has been generated by a microchip laser combined with a photonic crystal fiber. The ultrabroadband SC has facilitated multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microspectroscopy in the spectral range from 1000 to with lateral and depth spatial resolution of 0.9 and , respectively. A clear CARS image of a Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Bright Yellow 2 cell has been obtained with high vibrational contrast.
