What is Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS)?
Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) is a powerful nonlinear optical technique used to probe the vibrational properties of molecules. Unlike traditional Raman spectroscopy, CARS utilizes multiple laser beams to enhance the signal and achieve higher sensitivity and spatial resolution. This technique is particularly useful for studying molecular vibrations and chemical compositions at the nanoscale.
