چکیده

We report high-resolution saturated-absorption spectra recorded by use of a few microwatts of radiation generated in a single pass by difference-frequency mixing. These results were obtained without the use of buildup cavities for the nonlinear mixing or for the saturation spectroscopy. We show high-quality saturated-absorption signals for the fundamental rovibrational band of CO(2) near 4.3 mum. Convenient sources and frequency-conversion devices open new possibilities for sub-Doppler spectroscopy in the infrared.

Measurement of neutral flow velocity in an ECR plasma using tunable diode laser LIF spectroscopy combined with saturated absorption spectroscopy

The radial flow of neutral particles in an electron-cyclotron-resonance (ECR) argon plasma has been measured by using a newly developed high resolution laser induced fluorescence (LIF) measurement system. The flow velocity is determined by the Doppler shift of the LIF spectrum. A very high accuracy calibration of an excitation laser has been achieved by installing a saturated absorption spectro...

High-resolution spectroscopy of the 39K transitions at 770 nm and 13C2H2 saturated lines by a solid-state laser at 1.54 μm: toward an accurate frequency standard in the optical communication band

A novel and compact Er-Yb: glass laser was developed with single-frequency output power 10 mW in a wavelength range from 1531 to 1547 nm. The laser output was efficiently frequency doubled at 770.1 nm in a single-pass periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide and a second harmonic power in excess of 15 W was achieved, with an internal conversion efficiency of 220% W 1. This frequency-doubled...

High resolution imaging with differential infrared absorption micro-spectroscopy.

Although confocal infrared (IR) absorption micro-spectroscopy is well established for far-field chemical imaging, its scope remains restricted since diffraction limits the spatial resolution to values a little above half the radiation wavelength. Yet, the successful implementations of below-the-diffraction limit far-field fluorescence microscopies using saturated irradiation patterns for exampl...

Far-Infrared Laser Spectroscopy of Phonon Difference Band Absorption in TICI

It is well known that most crystals which show Reststrahlen behavior are nearly transparent at low temperatures for far-infrared radiation at frequencies below the infrared active eigen-frequency. The crystals are nearly opaque at room temperature due to strong absorption by phonon combination processes [1]. We report experimental results which show that for T1C1 a pronounced LA-TA two phonon d...
