Raman side scattering in an underdense plasma is studied and shows angles deviating from traditional theory. Taking the laser's pulse front tilt into account provides explanation for these unexpected angles.

Coherent Raman scattering microscopy is an attractive new technology for label-free imaging. Both coherent anti-Stokes (CARS) and stimulated (SRS) offer the possibility to record hyperspectral imaging data. While analysis of spontaneous data multivariate methods are nowadays routinely employed, until date most interpreted using univariate analysis. In this work, we report a quantitative compari...
