  • Matched pulse stimulated raman scattering
    Patent number: 8300228
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selectively driving the vibrations of normal modes of a target molecule into coherence using stimulated Raman scattering. In concert, many vibrations produce a larger anti-Stokes signal than a single vibration. The same illumination does not drive other molecules to have coherent vibrations, so these molecules produce a weaker signal. Target and confounder molecules can be distinguished by pulses that drive many vibrations coherently, with applications in coherent Raman microspectroscopy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 30, 2012
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois
    Inventors: Daniel L. Marks, Joseph B. Geddes, III, Stephen A. Boppart
