Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of optical fiber optics and coherent Raman spectroscopy detection, and in particular to an optical fiber optical tweezers CARS microscopic spectrum measurement system and method. Background Art
[0002] Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) microspectroscopy measurement technology has the advantages of no need for fluorescent labeling, high detection sensitivity and unique chemical selective detection ability, and is widely used in the field of life sciences. The generation of CARS signals requires two pulsed lights with a frequency difference equal to the molecular vibration frequency of the measured particle to be incident on the same position of the measured particle at the same time, so as to achieve the resonant excitation of the CARS signal. At present, the detection of biological particles is mainly carried out in a liquid environment. The position of biological particles in the liquid environment will change continuously due to Brownian motion, and it is almost impossible to perform long-term stable CARS microspectroscopy measurement on them. The development of optical tweezers technology makes it possible to fix and manipulate particles in three-dimensional space without contact with lasers. After strong focusing, the laser beam forms a strong gradient force optical trap at the particle to be measured, which can suppress the Brownian motion of the particle to be measured in the liquid environment and achieve stable fixation of the particle to be measured. The combination of traditional optical tweezers technology and Raman scattering technology uses spatial optical path, and the optical path system is complex and cumbersome and has low stability. .
