Imaging of simultaneous two-photon absorption and stimulated Raman scattering is accomplished by detecting the intensity changes of the two-color pulses simultaneously and the mathematical operations of addition and subtraction. The stimulated Raman scattering is quantitatively separated from the two-photon absorption, generated in a mixed solution in which a glycerin solution is miscible in various proportions with a quantum dot solution. Our technique is applied to simultaneous two-photon absorption and stimulated Raman scattering imaging.
