Abstract

Far field radiation pattern under tight focusing condition is investigated in Coherent Anti-stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) microscopy both in the forward (F-CARS) and backward (E-CARS) directions. While we assume no refraction index mismatch between the sample and the environing medium, our rigorous numerical electromagnetic computation takes into account the exact polarizations of the excitation laser beams and of the induced nonlinear dipoles. F-CARS and E-CARS radiation patterns, as well as their divergence, are studied as a function of the size of the sample object and compared to the excitation beams.
