Fourier ptychography tomography (FPT) is a novel computational technique for coherent imaging in which the sample is numerically reconstructed from images acquired under various illumination directions. FPT is able to provide three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of the complex sample permittivity with an increased resolution compared to standard microscopy. In this work, FPT is applied to coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) imaging. We show on synthetic data that complex third-order susceptibilities can be reconstructed in 3D from a limited number of widefield CARS images. In addition, we observe that the non-linear interaction increases significantly the potential of CARS-FPT compared to linear FPT in terms of resolution. In particular, with a careful choice of the pump and Stokes beam directions, CARS-FPT is able to provide optical sectioning even in transmission configuration.

A coherent concatenation of multiple solitary waves may lead to a stable infrared and visible broadband filament in a ceramic YAG polycrystal. This self-trapped soliton train is leveraged to implement self-referenced multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (SR-M-CARS) imaging. Simulations and experiments illustrating the filamentation process and the concatenation of focusing-defocusing cycles in ceramic and crystal YAG are presented.

Coherent Raman scattering spectroscopies have been established as a powerful tool for investigating molecular systems with high chemical specificity. The existing coherent Raman scattering techniques detect only Raman active modes, which are a part of the whole molecular vibrations. Here, we report the first observation of coherent anti-Stokes hyper-Raman scattering (CAHRS) spectroscopy, which allows measuring hyper-Raman active vibrations at high speed.

The collisional energy transfer between vibrational excited H2(1, 7) and CO2 was investigated by exciting H2 to a vibrational excited state of v = 1, J = 7 by the stimulated Raman scattering technique. The coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) technique determined that H2 was excited to the H2(1, 7) state. Varying the cuvette temperature, the number of H2(1, 7) particles was found to increase with the increase in H2 molar ratio α by scanning the intensity of the CARS spectrum, with peaks at different α at a temperature of 363 ± 15 K, but the peak temperature was not sensitive to α.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease of cartilage characterised by joint pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life with affected joint movement leading to pain and limited mobility. Current methods to diagnose OA are predominantly limited to X-ray, MRI and invasive joint fluid analysis, all of which lack chemical or molecular specificity and are limited to detection of the disease at later stages. A rapid minimally invasive and non-destructive approach to disease diagnosis is a critical unmet need.

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).
