Broadband Coherent anti-Stokes ACETYL-L-CARNITINE Raman Scattering (BCARS) microscopy is a useful technique for chemical analysis and allows the full vibrational fingerprint spectrum of a specimen to be obtained in millisec-onds.A major drawback to this technique is the presence of the non-resonant background response producing interference which prevents classical spectral analysis of the sample.Using a convolutional autoencoder and measurements of the laser characteristics, we have shown that it is possible to remove this background with-out Eye Preparations requiring supervision, as is typically required for conventional removal methods.

This approach therefore simplifies the analysis of hyperspectral images obtained with BCARS.
