Abstract
We present coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS) imaging with our robust all-fiber optical parametric oscillator (FOPO) that is tunable across the whole bio-relevant spectral region (700 to 3530 wavenumbers) in less than 5 ms. The all-fiber operation allows to operate the FOPO on a regular laboratory cart, maximize temporal pulse overlap by dispersion management and inherently minimize beam-pointing. We present first CARS images of DMSO-d6 infiltration into mouse skin imaged in the silent as well as CH-stretch region without any alignment other than electronically tuning the wavelength. The FOPO is ideally suited for label-free, hyperspectral imaging, e.g., in translational research.
