Abstract
Broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (B-CARS) in a hybrid 2-color/3-color excitation regime has been shown to be a photon-efficient method of generating CARS across the entire vibrational region of interest (fingerprint and C-H stretch). We extend here our spectral interferometric polarized CARS (SIP-CARS) approach to a hybrid 2-color/3-color excitation regime, demonstrate that the power/polarization dependence for both 2- color and 3-color excitation agrees with theory, explore the application of SIP-CARS for the special case of anisotropic, birefringent materials (using collagen) and present in vivo lipid imaging of different mutations of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans with modified lipid distributions. The extension of SIP-CARS to a hybrid excitation scheme makes possible a fast, all-optical and quantitative method for Raman imaging.
