← ScienceWhich outcome impairs data recovery via coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy when imaging degraded polymer samples?
A)Signal loss due to dephasing✓
B)Increased thermal lens distortion
C)Reduced probe pulse coherence
D)Elevated spontaneous Raman scattering
💡 Explanation
Degraded polymers yield heterogenous, non-uniform scattering because molecular vibrations lose phase coherence; therefore weaker signals result in data loss, rather than thermal artifacts or spontaneous emissions, because CARS relies on constructive interference.
