Abstract

We present a simple and easily implementable scheme for multiplexed Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) spectroscopy and microscopy using a single femtosecond pulse, shaped with a narrow spectral notch. We show that a tunable spectral notch, shaped by a resonant photonic crystal slab, can serve as a narrowband, optimally time-delayed probe, resolving a broad vibrational spectrum with high spectral resolution in a single-shot measurement. Our single-source, single-beam scheme allows the simple transformation of any multiphoton microscope with adequate bandwidth into a nearly alignment-free CARS microscope.

Various approaches for CARS spectroscopy using ultrashort pulses. The corresponding energy-level diagrams (left), and the spectral- and time-domain pictures (center and right). (a) conventional multi-beam CARS where a single vibrational level is excited and probed by narrowband pump and Stokes beams from synchronized sources; (b) Multiplex CARS utilizing a wideband ultrashort Stokes pulse and a narrowband probe beam, simultaneously exciting and probing several vibrational levels; (c) The single-pulse, single beam CARS technique presented in this work, where a single femtosecond pulse is shaped with a narrow notch by a resonant photonic crystal slab filter (see Fig. 2). The wideband pulse coherently excites a band of vibrational levels, and the narrowband notch effectively produces a time delayed temporally extended probe, yielding a spectral resolution two orders of magnitude better than the pulse bandwidth. The vibrational spectrum is resolved by measuring the blue shift of the induced interference features in the CARS spectrum from the shaped notch frequency.

Experimental setup for notch-shaped single-pulse CARS using a resonant photonic crystal slab (RPCS). (a) The optical setup: The wideband excitation pulse (i), is shaped with a tunable narrowband spectral notch by the RPCS filter (ii). The spectral notch serves as a narrow probe for the CARS process generating narrow well-defined features in the CARS spectrum, which are blue-shifted from the probe by the vibrational frequencies (iii). (LPF - long-pass filter, SPF - short-pass filter); (b) A schematic diagram of the RPCS double grating waveguide structure used in this work, comprised of several layers: a glass substrate, a sub-wavelength grating, a thin dielectric waveguide and another sub-wavelength grating. For a given beam incident angle, a narrow spectral band is on resonance with the RPCS and is coupled to a ‘guided-mode’, resulting in almost total reflection for the resonant wavelength and a tunable narrow notch in the transmission spectrum. (c) Atomic force microscopy measurements of the RPCS surface revealing the sub-wavelength grating (taken from [17]).

Experimental results: (a) Several RPCS notch-shaped excitation spectra. The notch location can be continuously tuned by the RPCS angle relative to the excitation beam. The notch has a measured spectral width of 1.3nm FWHM (20cm−1), and a rejection of >17dB; (b) Single-shot measured CARS spectra from toluene at two slightly shifted notch locations. In each measurement, sharp peak-and-dip interference features, corresponding to toluene 787cm−1 and 1005cm−1 vibrational lines appear in the plotted CARS spectrum (marked by arrows). These features are blue-shifted from the notch location by the vibrational frequency. The raw measured CARS spectra are in good agreement with numerical simulations using Eqs. (1-2) (dashed line, see materials and methods); (c) Resolved vibrational spectrum of toluene retrieved from (b) using Eq. (4) (materials and methods), with the known Raman lines depicted in gray.
