The CARS microscope uses an 800 nm oscillator and a photonic crystal fibre module to generate the supercontinuum Stokes. The photonic crystal fibre was originally designed to generate light beyond 945 nm which is useful for CARS microscopy in the CH/OH… more Full Text: ADVANCED BROADBAND CARS MICROSCOPY BASED ON A SUPERCONTINUUM-GENERATING PHOTONIC CRYSTAL FIBER A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE COMMITTEE ON GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE FACULTY OF ARTS …
