Abstract :
We demonstrate the use of shaped 10 fs pulses for multimodal microscopy. The combination of a broadband oscillator and a pulse shaper provides a flexible light source that can be optimized for various nonlinear effects produced in the sample either for signal intensity or selectivity. Switching between narrowband and broadband Multiplex CARS, elimination of unwanted two-photon fluorescence or direct determination of the linear Raman spectrum can be easily achieved.
