Shot noise limited high speed stimulated Raman microscopy
arXiv:1905.11953
Abstract
We report a shot noise limited high speed stimulated Raman microscopy platform allowing to acquire molecular vibrational spectra over \SI{200}{\per \cm} in \SI{12}{\micro \second} at a scan rate of 40kHz. Using spectral focusing together with optimized acousto-optics programmable dispersive filters the designed low noise imaging platform performs chemical imaging of dynamical processes such as Mannitol crystal hydratation and reaches a signal to noise ratio sufficient to perform label free histological imaging on frozen human colon tissue slides.
