Original Abstract Submitted
Multiplex CARS microscopy device for analysing a sample (Ech) comprising: -a laser source (LS) suitable for emitting a primary beam (FP) having a first wavelength λ, in the form of pulses (IL) with a power called the primary power; -an optical fibre (F) supporting fewer than ten modes, said pulses propagating through the optical fibre (F) in anomalous dispersion regime so as to generate, from the primary beam, an output beam (FSC) containing a plurality of second wavelengths forming a supercontinuum (SC), and said first wavelength λ, the second wavelengths being generated by non-linear conversion of the first wavelength λ; -an optical system (MO) suitable for focusing the output beam onto said sample, so as to generate an anti-Stokes beam (STK) via stimulated Raman scattering induced by at least one of the second wavelengths and the first wavelength λpresent in the output beam; -a photodetector (Det) suitable for detecting the anti-Stokes beam.
