Abstract

AbstractSeveral polarization studies on the noisy light version of coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) exist in the literature. However, the full advantages of polarization CARS (P‐CARS), which are so useful in conventional and short‐pulse CARS methods, have not yet been exploited in the noisy light version. This work presents experimental realization of fully functional P‐CARS using noisy light. Several examples demonstrate the advantages brought by P‐CARS. This includes the ‘classic’ example of benzene in carbon tetrachloride. Also presented are the carbon–carbon double bond stretches in acrylonitrile and 1‐hexene. An interesting, and not fully understood, detection polarization angle dependence is discussed. Applications to an m‐xylene/benzene mixture and an alkaline solution of the amino acid phenylalanine are presented. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
