Abstract
Photophysical and photochemical processes are ruled by the interplay between transient vibrational and electronic degrees of freedom, which are ultimately determined by the multidimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs). Differences between ground and excited PESs are encoded in the relative intensities of resonant Raman bands, but they are experimentally challenging to access, requiring measurements at multiple wavelengths under identical conditions. Herein, we perform a two-color impulsive vibrational scattering experiment to launch nuclear wavepacket motions by an impulsive pump and record their coupling with a targeted excited-state potential by resonant Raman processes with a delayed probe, generating in a single measurement background-free vibrational spectra across the entire sample absorption. Building on the interference between the multiple pathways resonant with the excited-state manifold that generate the Raman signal, we show how to experimentally tune their relative phase by varying the probe chirp, decoding nuclear displacements along different normal modes and revealing the multidimensional PESs. Our results are validated against time-dependent density functional theory.

Abstract
Femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy offers several advantages over spontaneous Raman spectroscopy due to the inherently high sensitivity and low average power deposition in the sample. Femtosecond CARS can be implemented in a collinear pump/probe beam configuration for microspectroscopy applications and has emerged as a powerful technique for chemical imaging of biological specimens. However, one serious limitation of this approach is the presence of a high nonresonant background component that often obscures the resonant signals of interest. We report here an innovative pulse-shaping method based on Lorentzian amplitude and phase spectral modulation of a broadband femtosecond probe pulse that yields spectra with both high spectral resolution and no nonresonant background. No further mathematical analysis is needed to extract Raman spectra. The utility of the proposed method for CARS microscopy is demonstrated using a mixture of polystyrene and latex beads, as well as dry-fixed embryonic stem cells.
