Biological Applications of Resonance CARS

  • Conference paper
Non-Linear Raman Spectroscopy and Its Chemical Aplications

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 93))

Abstract

Among the advantages of CARS regarding biological applications are its high energy conversion, its insensitivity towards fluorescence and its excellent time resolution (1). These strong points should make resonant CARS spectroscopy a preferred method to obtain Raman spectra of fluoresceing biological molecules. Surprisingly, a modest number of biological applications has been reported in the literature as compared with the much larger number of Raman and resonance Raman studies (2). A reason for this paucity of data may be the fact that CARS is not yet a routine method. It requires a judicious selection of biological systems whose spectra should be susceptible to a reasonable interpretation. This is often impossible to achieve with large molecules, a problem equally encountered in spontaneous Raman spectroscopy. Resonance enhancement is indispensible when CARS is applied to dilute aqueous solutions of biological molecules, whose concentrations should be at least 10-3 — 10-4 m/1 in general.
