    Abstract: A system for high gain stimulated Raman spectroscopy comprises a first continuous wave laser having an output beam at a tunable optical frequency modulated at a first RF frequency, a second continuous wave laser having a second output beam at an optical frequency modulated at a second RF frequency, wherein the modulation frequencies are selected such that their beat notes represent a Raman resonance frequency, a dual-beam rasterizing probe including first and second photosensors and a rasterizer configured to scan the first and second laser output beams onto a sample, exposing the sample to a reduced average power of laser radiation stimulating the sample to emit Raman radiation signals. The Raman signals are directed to the photosensors and the outputs of the photosensors are supplied to a differential amplifier configured to provide sensitivity and gain to signals at the beat note resonant frequency and to filter signals at other frequencies.

    Abstract: In one aspect, an apparatus includes a first light source that applies first light having a first wavelength as a center wavelength to an object, a second light source that applies second light having a second wavelength as a center wavelength longer than the first wavelength to the object, an optical filter that includes first and second regions and that transmits third light produced by the first and second light each passed through or reflected by the object, first and second optical detectors that determine first and second amounts, respectively, of the third light passed through the first and second regions. The transmission ranges of spectral transmission curves of the first and second regions are located between the first wavelength and the second wavelength. The spectral transmission curve of the first region has a width at half maximum different from that of the spectral transmission curve of the second region.
