Abstract:
We demonstrate a fiber-format system for dual-comb coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy. The system is based on two ytterbium fiber (Yb) femtosecond lasers at repetition frequencies of 94 MHz, a Yb amplifier, and a photonic crystal fiber for spectral broadening and generation of pulses with a central wavelength of 1040 nm and durations in the sub-20-fs regime. We observed Raman spectra of acetonitrile and ethyl acetate with spectral coverage from 100 to 1300 cm-1, resolution of 8 cm-1, and a signal-to-noise ratio of around 100, when averaging over 10 acquisitions. The design is suitable for implementing portable dual-comb coherent Raman spectrometers.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
