The study of complex reactive flows met in aeronautical engines is an experimental challenge that requires the development noninvasive and precise measurement techniques. Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) a standard spectroscopic technique used for temperature measurements, which provides unmatched reliability accuracy at high repetition rate thanks to its recent adaptation femtoseco...

We address the general problem of detecting chemical interfaces arbitrarily oriented in space in coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. Such a task is accomplished by using a beam reversal scheme, as recently demonstrated experimentally [J. Biomed. Opt. 16, 086006 (2011)]. We develop a full vectorial theoretical analysis of the situation and show that transverse chemical inter...

We study completely asymmetric 2-channel exclusion processes in 1 dimension. It describes a two-way traffic flow with cars moving in opposite directions. The interchannel interaction makes cars slow down in the vicinity of approaching cars in other lane. Particularly, we consider in detail the system with a finite density of cars on one lane and a single car on the other one. When the interchan...

Recent progress in the next generation of automobile technology is geared towards incorporating information technology into cars. Collectively called smart cars are bringing intelligence to cars that provides comfort, convenience and safety. A branch of smart cars is connected-car system. The key concept in connected-cars is the sharing of driving information among cars through decentralized ma...

In this article we show that heterodyne CARS, based on a controlled and stable phase-preserving chain, can be used to measure amplitude and phase information of molecular vibration modes. The technique is validated by a comparison of the imaginary part of the heterodyne CARS spectrum to the spontaneous Raman spectrum of polyethylene. The detection of the phase allows for rejection of the non-re...
