Published: January 2009

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) interferometry is used to deplete the anti-Stokes radiation emerging from a tightly focused spot. Near-to-complete depletion of the anti-Stokes radiation is obtained when a phase-controlled local oscillator field at the anti-Stokes frequency is out of phase with the induced CARS field in the focal volume. Unlike in traditional interferometry, this depleted energy is not spatially redistributed. A theoretical analysis shows that the energy loss in the anti-Stokes channel is accompanied by an energy gain in the pump and Stokes channels. Interferometric switching of anti-Stokes radiation may offer a route toward developing high-resolution CARS microscopy.

Multiple coherent radiations are achieved in a water-3-aminopropanol (3AP) mixed solution through cascaded four-wave mixing (C-FWM) and cascaded Stokes (C-Stokes) processes, both driven by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in this work. The O-H vibration peak from water is replaced by the emergence of the -NH symmetric stretching Raman peaks from 3AP, with intensity approaching that of the -CH symmetric stretching peak. The dual-wavelength SRS signals for the -NH and -CH stretching vibrations have a relatively small frequency interval of about 400 cm (16 nm).

An abnormal level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in serum is related to many diseases, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, hepatitis, and diabetes. The level of glucose in the blood is related to diabetes or hypoglycemia. Given the close correlation between ALP and glucose in various diseases, it is essential to establish an accurate, sensitive, and selective assay for monitoring the levels of ALP and glucose in serum.

Inflammation is a complex physiological response involving various cellular and molecular events. Sulfur dioxide (SO), which is usually in the form of HSO and SO under physiological conditions, plays a crucial role in the regulation of inflammation and diseases. Frequency upconversion luminescence (FUCL) can realize the unique anti-Stokes process of long-wavelength excitation to short-wavelength emission; thus, it is a highly promising optical method for imaging due to its deep tissue penetration, low photo-damage, .
