Surface-enhanced coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (SE-CARS) takes advantage of surface plasmon resonances supported on metallic nanostructures to amplify the coherent Raman response of target molecules. While these metallic antennas…
State-preserving frequency conversion in the optical domain is a necessary component in many configurations of quantum information processing and communication. Thus far, nonlinear crystals are used for this purpose. Here, we report on a…
For objects of "large" vibration size such as waves on the sea surface, the choice of measurement method can create different understandings of system behavior. In one case, laser vibrometry measurements of a vibrating bar in a controlled…
Vibrational motions in electronically excited states can be observed by either time and frequency resolved infrared absorption or by off resonant stimulated Raman techniques. Multipoint correlation function expressions are derived for both…
The motion of atoms is at the heart of any chemical or structural transformation in molecules and materials. Upon activation of this motion by an external source, several (usually many) vibrational modes can be coherently coupled, thus…
We demonstrate single-beam coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS), for detecting and identifying traces of solids, including minute amounts of explosives, from a standoff distance (>50 m) using intense femtosecond pulses. Until now,…
Due to their sub picosecond temporal resolution, coherent Raman spectroscopies have been proposed as a viable extension of Spontaneous Raman (SR) thermometry, to determine dynamics of mode specific vibrational energy content during out of…
Photoelectron interferometry with femto- and atto-second light pulses is a powerful probe of the fast electron wavepacket dynamics, albeit it has practical limitations on the energy resolution. We show that one can simultaneously obtain…
A nonlinear interferometry scheme is described theoretically to induce and resolve electron wave- function beating on time scales shorter than the optical cycle of the time-delayed pump and probe pulses. By employing two moderately intense…
We present a novel approach to transient Raman spectroscopy, which combines stochastic probe pulses and a covariance-based detection to measure stimulated Raman signals in alpha-quartz. A coherent broadband pump is used to simultaneously…
Spatiotemporal optical coherence (STOC) imaging is a new technique for suppressing coherent crosstalk noise in Fourier-domain full-field optical coherence tomography (FD-FF-OCT). In STOC imaging, the timevarying inhomogeneous phase masks…
We propose an all-fiber-generated dual-soliton pulses based scheme for the background-free detection of coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy under the spectral focusing mechanism. Due to the strong birefringence and high nonlinearity of…
Vibrational micro-spectroscopy is a powerful optical tool, providing a non-invasive label-free chemically specific imaging for many chemical and biomedical applications. However, hyperspectral image produced by Raman micro-spectroscopy…

Coherent Raman scattering microscopy is a fast, label-free and chemically specific imaging technique that has a high potential for future in-vivo optical histology. However, its imaging depth into tissues is limited to the sub-millimeter…
We present a theoretical investigation of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) that is modulated by periodically depleting the ground state population through Rabi oscillations driven by an additional control laser. We find that…
Absorption spectroscopy is a fundamental tool for probing molecular structure. However, performing absorption spectroscopy on individual molecules is challenging due to the low signal-to-noise ratio. Here, we report on a nondestructive…
We develop an ultrafast frequency-resolved Raman spectroscopy with entangled photons for polyatomic molecules in condensed phases, to probe the electronic and vibrational coherences. Using quantum correlation between the photons, the signal…
We propose a novel femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) technique that combines entangled photons with interference detection to select matter pathways and enhance the resolution. Following photo excitation by an actinic pump,…
Raman spectroscopy uses light scattering to extract information on low-energy excitations of solids. The Raman process is described by diagrams which are fourth order in the light-matter interaction, and in particular the resonant…
