Abstract
We show that the limiting contrast of the coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) signal with respect to the coherent background due to nonresonant four-wave mixing is controlled by the Q factor of the Raman mode and is independent of the parameters of laser pulses. High-Q phonon modes of semiconductor nanoparticles, such as diamond nanoprobes, can therefore substantially enhance the contrast of CARS images, as well as the sensitivity of CARS spectroscopy and microscopy compared to typical Raman-active vibrations of organic molecules in biotissues.
