摘要
We demonstrate single-beam coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS), for detecting and identifying traces of solids, including minute amounts of explosives, from a standoff distance (> 50 m) using intense femtosecond pulses. Until now, single-beam CARS methods relied on pulse-shapers in order to obtain vibrational spectra. Here, we present a simple and easy-to-implement detection scheme, using a commercially available notch filter that does not require the use of a pulse-shaper. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
