Abstract :
An optimal pulse compression scheme is proposed for the synchronised time-lens source for coherent Raman scattering (CRS) imaging, using CRS signals as the criterion. The simulation results show that instead of compressing the pulse width of the time-lens source to its minimum, peak power should be optimised to maximise CRS signals. In terms of experiment, this can be done by optimising the second-harmonic signal or two-photon current of the time-lens output.
