We present an optical method for background suppression in femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) based on linear interferometry [1]. An unbalanced Sagnac interferometer reaches an unprecedented background reduction of 17 dB over a broad bandwidth of 60 THz (2000 cm−1) and thereby increases the signal-to-background ratio in the measurement. The interferometric measurement does not reduce the Raman signal to a simple loss signature in the spectrum, but reveals the phase shift, gathered within the nonlinear interaction, as a dispersive lineshape, which is recreated with a simple Lorentzian oscillator model.
