Abstract

Diagnostic aspects of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) in nanocomposite materials are theoretically analyzed. The interference nature of CARS spectra and the high spatial resolution make this nonlinear process an ideal local probe for the metrology of nanostructures and nanocomposites (nanoCARS). Local-field enhancement of CARS in nanostructures allows the creation of efficient nanoCARS sensors.
