Lasers for Nonlinear Spectroscopy
Multiplex Spectroscopy• Broad, variable bandwidth• Frequency tunable• No mode structure
High Resolution Spectroscopy• High power – pulsed• Narrow linewidth – Single longitudinal mode, SLM• Wide SLM tuneability ~nm• UV, visible and IR wavelengths
![Page 21: From quantum mechanics to auto-mechanics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/568167d9550346895ddd3463/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Fluctuation in relative intensity or phase of modes leads to fluctuation In relative intensity of scattered molecular spectrum i.e. noise• Noise limits precision of fitting theoretical to experimental spectrum
![Page 22: From quantum mechanics to auto-mechanics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/568167d9550346895ddd3463/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lasers and mode structure
• Conventional lasers impose mode structure by standing wave resonator
• Modeless laser uses travelling wave with no resonant cavity – hence no modes
• Noise limited only by quantum fluctuations
![Page 23: From quantum mechanics to auto-mechanics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/568167d9550346895ddd3463/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Temperature measurement in firing si engineusing broadband CARS with modeless laser
• Pump laser: Frequency doubled single mode Nd:YAG
• Stokes laser: Modeless laser
• Low noise gives precise fit to theoretical CARS spectrum – precision of 3 – 5% resolves cycle-by-cycle variations
