By tailoring the phase of a 100 femtosecond probe pulse we are able to obtain a narrow-band coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) resonant signal with a width of less than 15cm-1, which is an order of magnitude narrower than the CARS signal from a transform limited pulse. Thus, by measuring the spectrum of the CARS signal we are able to obtain a high-resolution energy level diagram of the probed sample in spite of the broad femtosecond pulse spectrum.
