Abstract
A microsecond-scale stimulated Raman spectroscopic imaging system having a light source, such as a laser output that provides two femtosecond laser beams and a modulator to modulate the laser intensity at frequency between about 1 and about 100 megahertz. The system can further include a medium that chirps the two femtosecond beams to generate a spectral focus in a specimen, and a galvo mirror or resonant mirror pair to scan the two femtosecond beams in two dimension on the specimen. An objective lens can focus the two laser beams into a specimen or sample and a resonant delay scanner configured to produce an optical delay to the pair of chirped beams in said specimen and a tuned amplifier or lock-in amplifier can be used to extract the stimulated Raman-signal shift at the aforementioned modulation frequency.
