Photonic Time-Stretch Spectroscopy for Multiplex Stimulated Raman Scattering

Stimulated Raman scattering spectroscopy enables label-free molecular identification, but its broadband implementation is technically challenging. We experimentally demonstrate a novel approach to multiplex stimulated Raman scattering based on photonic time stretch. A telecom fiber stretches the bro...
