Description

Time-resolved broad-spectrum CARS spectral imaging device based on high-repetition-frequency femtosecond laser
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical imaging, and particularly relates to a time-resolved broad-spectrum CARS spectral imaging device based on high-repetition-frequency femtosecond laser.
Background
The optical imaging technology has wide application in the fields of material science, biomedicine and the like. At present, the conventional optical imaging technology still has a plurality of problems. For example, general optical imaging lacks chemical specificity, and cannot image the spatial distribution of a specific molecule in a sample, and the lack of chemical information will largely limit the application of imaging techniques; fluorescence labeling imaging, although chemically specific, requires labeling of specific molecules, i.e., complex pretreatment of the sample, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also may change the characteristics of the sample, and for most molecules, methods for labeling are currently lacking; raman spectrum imaging can realize label-free molecular imaging, but is limited by extremely low efficiency of Raman scattering, and a signal with a high enough signal-to-noise ratio can be acquired only by long enough integration time, so that the imaging speed is greatly limited; in the CARS (coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering) imaging technology, coherence between two molecular energy levels is firstly established by two beams of light (pumping light and Stokes light), and then signal light (anti-Stokes light) with characteristic spectral characteristics is excited by a third beam of light (detection light).
One of the solutions to the above problem is to use a time-resolved broad-spectrum CARS imaging technique. The technology uses a wide-spectrum femtosecond laser as pumping light, uses a narrow-spectrum wide picosecond laser with a certain time delay and frequency difference relative to the pumping light as detection light, and combines a frequency-resolved detection technology and a scanning imaging technology to realize rapid coherent Raman spectrum imaging without a non-resonance background. In the technology, because the ultra-wide spectrum short pulse laser is adopted, the coherence among a large number of molecular oscillation energy levels can be simultaneously established in a single pulse, so that the ultra-wide spectrum short pulse laser can be simultaneously used as pumping light and Stokes light of various molecules, the characteristic energy levels of various molecules can be excited without frequency scanning, the acquired data volume is greatly improved, and the ultra-wide spectrum imaging is realized; meanwhile, by adopting narrow-spectrum broad pulse laser, the frequency peak of Raman scattering light can be higher and narrower, and the non-resonance background spectrum is flatter, so that the non-resonance background is suppressed; furthermore, since the generation of the CARS signal is slower than the generation of the off-resonant background, the off-resonant background can be further eliminated using a probe laser pulse delayed from the pump laser pulse.
However, the conventional time-resolved broad-spectrum CARS device has high requirements on a light source, generally needs a complex Chirped Pulse Amplifier (CPA) and an Optical Parametric Amplifier (OPA), and the light source generally has a low repetition frequency, which greatly affects the imaging speed, and has a complex structure, a very high cost and is not easy to maintain.
