Improved temperature precision in rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy with a modeless dye laser
Author
Summary, in English
Single-shot thermometry with dual-broadband rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy that employs amplified spontaneous emission from a broadband modeless dye laser has been examined. Evaluation of single-shot spectra of air, N-2, and O-2 showed an improved temperature precision at room temperature compared with the precision obtained with a conventional dye laser. A comparison was also made between the use of single-mode and multimode Nd:YAG lasers as sources for narrowband radiation, and in all cases the single-mode Nd:YAG laser resulted in higher precision. The experimental results are compared with theoretical predictions. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.
