This dataset contains experimental data for the paper. 

The figures are as follows:

Fig. 2  a) Auto-correlation measurement of EE source (Emerald Engine pump laser)(1031 nm) (green) and OPA-SHG output (red). AC, auto-correlation. (b) Spectrum ofthe Stokes beam (OPA pump source) and TLS output (OPA seed).

Fig. 3  OPA output (solid square), SHG output (solid circle) and OPA gain (emptysquare, blue) as a function of pump power (a) or seed power (b). Spectra and power of CW seeded OPA (a) and SHG (b) later used as the tunable CARS Pump beam.

Fig. 4  a) Measured CARS spectra of polystyrene beads overlayed with the spontaneous Raman spectra.
