White light supercontinuum generation in bulk crystal.

Caption

The new system uses a lower pulse repetition rate than other CARS systems. This allowed the researchers to generate broadband, red-shifted Stokes pulses that cover the whole fingerprint vibrational region using white-light supercontinuum generation in a bulk crystal (pictured).
