    We demonstrate heterodyne detection of CARS signals using a cascaded phase-preserving chain to generate the\ud CARS input wavelengths and a coherent local oscillator. The heterodyne ampli¯cation by the local oscillator re-\ud veals a window for shot noise limited detection before the signal-to-noise is limited by amplitude °uctuations. We\ud demonstrate an improvement in sensitivity by more than 3 orders of magnitude for detection using a photodiode.\ud This will enable CARS microscopy to reveal concentrations below the current mMolar range
