Abstract
A new method to obtain supercontinuum(SC) source for multiplex coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy is proposed. The nonlinear propagation in photonic-crystal fibers (PCF) of femtosecond pulse laser with central wavelength at 800.9 nm is studied with scalar wave theory. Based on the incident laser power and dispersion of PCF, super broadband source for multiplex CARS microscopy is designed.
