What is Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS)?
Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) is a nonlinear optical technique used to study vibrational properties of molecules. It involves the interaction of multiple laser beams with a sample to produce a signal at a frequency different from the incident beams. CARS is particularly valuable in nanotechnology for its ability to provide high-resolution, label-free chemical imaging.
