Hyper Spectral Resolution Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy with Amplified fs Pulse Bursts
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Stimulated Raman scattering is a powerful spectroscopic technique that unveils molecular vibrational and rotational information, providing invaluable insights into the composition and dynamics of diverse materials. A novel approach for stimulated Raman scattering spectroscopy has been introduced, utilizing offset-phase controlled femtosecond-pulse bursts. This innovative technique not only achieves very high spectral resolution but also enables high-speed spectral acquisition. By broadening the applications of stimulated Raman scattering, it represents a noteworthy advancement in spectroscopic capabilities.
