Multiplex H2 coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering thermometry with a modeless laser.
The use of a modeless laser as the Stokes source for multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering in molecular hydrogen is reported. The elimination of noise associated with mode competition in conventional standing wave lasers is shown to result in reliable and accurate single-shot thermometry of H(2) in a microwave-assisted diamond chemical vapor deposition plasma reactor. Single-shot temp...
متن کاملSingle-shot gas-phase thermometry using pure-rotational hybrid femtosecond/picosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering.
High-repetition-rate, single-laser-shot measurements are important for the investigation of unsteady flows where temperature and species concentrations can vary significantly. Here, we demonstrate single-shot, pure-rotational, hybrid femtosecond/picosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (fs/ps RCARS) thermometry based on a kHz-rate fs laser source. Interferences that can affect nanosecon...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Vibrational and Pure Rotational Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) in Molecular Hydrogen
Using a specially designed excimer-laser-pumped dye laser of adjustable bandwidth high-lying pure rotational transitions of both, orthoand para-hydrogen have been identified by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS). As an interesting application Hz-based CARS-thermometry is discussed.
متن کاملStatistics of light in Raman and Brillouin nonlinear couplers
Statistical properties of optical fields in nonlinear couplers composed of two waveguides in which Raman or Brillouin processes (with classical pumping) are in operation and which are mutually connected through the mutual Stokes and/or anti-Stokes linear interactions are investigated in the framework of a generalized superposition of coherent fields and quantum noise. Heisenberg equations descr...
متن کاملThermometry for turbulent flames by coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy with simultaneous referencing to the modeless excitation profile.
An optimal system for temperature measurements by coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) in turbulent flames and flows is presented. In addition to a single-mode pump laser and a modeless dye laser, an echelle spectrometer with a cross disperser is used. This system permits simultaneous measurement of the N2 CARS spectrum and the broadband dye laser profile. A procedure is developed to ...
