Nanotechnology often requires the ability to analyze and manipulate materials at the molecular and atomic levels. CARS provides several advantages in this context:
1. Label-Free Imaging: Unlike fluorescence-based techniques, CARS does not require external labels or dyes, which can alter the properties of nanoscale materials. 2. High Sensitivity and Resolution: CARS can achieve high spatial resolution, making it ideal for imaging nanostructures. 3. Chemical Specificity: The technique's specificity to molecular vibrations allows for precise chemical characterization of nanomaterials.
