Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering: A Brief Overview
Get a quick look at how CARS imaging works and the optical components involved. This overview outlines the role of pump, Stokes, and probe lasers, shows example filter configurations, and highlights the types of dichroics and emission filters typically used in CARS systems. It’s a helpful reference for understanding where specific filters fit within advanced Raman workflows.
Core Components
Choose individual filters and optics to build or customize your system:
Longpass Filters — Pass longer wavelengths while blocking excitation and stray light.
Shortpass Filters — Pass shorter wavelengths for order sorting or spectral separation.
Single Bandpass Filters — Define narrow spectral windows for excitation or detection.
Multiband Bandpass Filters — Support multi-line or multi-analyte systems with fixed profiles.
Notch Rejection Filters — Suppress specific laser lines for Raman and weak-signal work.
Dichroic Beamsplitters — Separate excitation and collection paths.
Neutral Density Filters — Control intensity without altering spectral shape.
Built for Research Reliability
Analytical instruments demand stable, repeatable performance over years of continuous use. Chroma’s hard-sputtered coatings are engineered to withstand high laser power, temperature and humidity cycling, and other environmental stresses without spectral drift.
As an ISO-certified company, we adhere to strict quality assurance procedures and stand behind this commitment with an industry-leading warranty—our assurance of long-term experimental stability and reproducibility.
