Abstract: We demonstrate the physical principles of multimodal nonlinear optical microspectroscopy, integrating methods of coherent and stimulated Raman scattering of ultrashort chirped laser pulses in a single optical scheme. Nonlinear phase distortions of ultrashort laser pulses are accurately compensated within a broad spectral range in this scheme to enable a high-spectral-resolution laser microspectroscopy that can reliably resolve groups of fingerprint molecular vibrations with close frequencies, thus facilitating an analysis of complex multicomponent systems.
