Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="jrs4514-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>We present a rapidly tunable (over 400 cm ^{− 1}) and compact (0.7 m ² footprint) coherent Raman scattering light source performing both coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering and stimulated Raman scattering microspectroscopy. We use spectral focusing of a femtosecond Ti:Sapphire pulse and a redshifted soliton generated in a photonic crystal fiber to reach suitable spectral resolution and to rapidly acquire spectra by means of a delay line translation. The coherent Raman scattering light source is used to monitor the molecular equilibrium shift between hydrogen phosphate and dihydrogen phosphate ions under pH change.
