Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Imaging: A Basic Overview With An Emphasis On The Optics Required
5/11/2012
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) imaging is a nonlinear optical technique that captures intrinsic molecular vibrations to create optical contrast. It offers submicron level spatial resolution and video-speed imaging rate without the needs for extrinsic labels. In a CARS process, a pump laser, a Stokes laser and a probe laser (usually same as the Pump laser) are involved.

OCT for Non-Destructive Testing
12/18/2012
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging method that scans light across a sample/object, and then processes and transforms the reflected light to create a depth profile of up to several mm. Tornado Spectral Systems has developed a nanophotonic spectrometer for use in this application space. To find out more about optical coherence tomography and how Tornado Spectral can help you unlock the potential of OCT for non-destructive testing applications, download the application note.
