(a) Experimental SECARS intensity map recorded at the
anti-Stokes
wavelength (867 nm), i.e., 1070 cm–1 blue-shifted from the pump at 955 nm. (b) Power dependence of SECARS
intensity on the pump (green) and Stokes (red). Laser focal spot is
positioned at the location marked with the black arrow in (a). (c) Simulated enhancement factor
at the pump (green, scale to the left) and Stokes frequencies (red,
scale to the left), as well as the enhancement factor in the scattering
at the anti-Stokes frequency (light blue, scale to the right). Overall
enhancement calculated using ISECARS ∝ Ep4·ES2·EaS2 is also plotted with a separate
scale on the right side. (d) Experimental SECARS intensity (red, scale
to the left) and simulated SECARS enhancement factor (violet, scale
to the right) as functions of the azimuthal angle.
