摘要: We have experimentally demonstrated enhanced image contrast of sample fine structure in a coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscope using liquid crystal spatial light modulators as programmable Toraldo-style pupil phase masks. through modeling, implementation, and verification the focal intensity distributions excitation beams trade-offs between improved CARS signal levels.We levels.
