Abstract
According to one aspect, the invention relates to a device for detecting a resonant non-linear optical signal of Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) type induced in a sample. The device comprises electro-optical means for making interact in the sample, at a first modulation frequency, trains of light pulses of angular frequencies ωand ωand, at a second modulation frequency, trains of light pulses of angular frequencies ωand ω, such that ω−ω=ω−ω=Ωwhere Ωis a molecular vibrational resonant angular frequency of the sample. Moreover, the device comprises means for synchronous detection at the first and second modulation frequencies of non-linear optical signals resulting from the interaction of the light pulses in the sample, and electronic processing means making it possible to obtain, from electronic signals resulting from the synchronous detection, a signal characterizing the molecular vibrational resonance of the sample.
