Coherent Rayleigh-brillouin Scattering in Monatomic Gases in the Kinetic Regime
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering (CRBS) in krypton at room temperature and moderate pressure has been studied experimentally. The experimental data is in good agreement with the theoretical lineshape developed by the authors. In this paper, we describe the details of the experiment. We also discuss the application of coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering in gas diagnostics.

Coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin Scattering: Influence of the Intermolecular Potential
The spectrum of the coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering (CRBS) of light by a rarefied gas is obtained by solving the Boltzmann equation numerically using the fast spectral method. The influence of the intermolecular potential on the CRBS spectrum is investigated and the accuracy of the prevailing Tenti’s s6 kinetic model is evaluated. Our numerical results show that i) the intermolecular pot...

We have studied the Brillouin spectrum of light scattered by the dilute monatomic one component gases xenon and helium and by the xenon-helium binary gas mixture. In a one component monatomic gas the scattered light spectrum for a scattering process with momentum transfer, K, and energy transfer, w, is proportional to the power spectrum, S(K, W), of fluctuations in the density of the gas. In a ...
متن کاملRemote-sensing gas measurements with coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering
We measure the coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering (CRBS) signal integral as a function of the recorded gas pressure in He, Co2, SF6, and air, and we confirm the already established quadratic dependence of the signal on the gas density. We propose the use of CRBS as an effective diagnostic for the remote measurement of gas’ density (pressure) and temperature, as well as polarizability, for g...
متن کاملSpectral narrowing in coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering.
Coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering is a four-wave mixing technique that provides information on various physical properties of the scattering medium in the spectral domain. Being based on density gratings generated by dipole forces, the method requires two pump beams of sufficient spectral width to span the full response bandwidth of the scattering medium. We provide experimental data on th...
متن کاملCoherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering measurements of bulk viscosity of polar and nonpolar gases, and kinetic theory.
We investigate coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin spectroscopy as an efficient process to measure the bulk viscosity of gases at gigahertz frequencies. Scattered spectral distributions are measured using a Fizeau spectrometer. We discuss the statistical error due to the fluctuating mode structure of the used pump laser. Experiments were done for both polar and nonpolar gases and the bulk viscosity was...
