Lez #61+62 Coherent vibrational imaging II - RIKES

We described the basics of RIKES: a vibrationally resonant combination of pump and stokes can induce optical anisotropy which generates an electric field along a direction orthogonal to the incoming stokes, via a four wave mixing process. This effect can be homodyne detected, or via balanced detection, to measure separately the real and imaginary parts of the non linear susceptibility.

Lez #57+58 Coherent vibrational imaging I

 We introduced the basic principles of linear and non linear imaging, with or without vibrational sensitivity. We then discussed the basics of CARS imaging, the nor resonant background issues and how to resolve them.

Lez #59+60 Coherent vibrational imaging I - SRS/CARS non resonant background

 We introduced the basic principles of linear and non linear imaging, with or without vibrational sensitivity. We then discussed the basics of CARS imaging, the nor resonant background issues and how to resolve them.
