Laser excited fluorescence of Na2

Fluorescence was excited in theB ¹Γ _u −X ¹Σ _g ⁺ system of Na₂, using the 488 and 514.5 nm radiations from a cw Ar⁺ laser. The fluorescence was monitored through a double monochromator employing photoelectronic detection. In the spectrum resulting from the 488 nm excitation, apart from a large number of fluorescence series, a previously unreported series could be identified. On either side of all the members of the strongest series a large number of collisional satellites were observed and assigned.     

Light-scattering intensity fluctuations in single aerosol particles during deliquescence

We use the deliquescence of single NaCl- and NaF-particles levitated in an electrodynamic trap to study light-scattering intensity fluctuations. During deliquescence the volume of the solid crystal and the liquid around it can be measured simultaneously with the light-scattering intensity. Such an experiment allows a comparison with numerical simulations of the intensity fluctuations in microdroplets containing inclusions. We find a power-law dependence proportional to the area of the inclusion for inclusions with radii approximately less than half in size of the total radius of the droplet. For larger inclusions this changes to a power law with a proportionality to the radius of the inclusion. A change of 30% in total radius does not change the intensity fluctuations. There seems to be no distinct difference in the behaviour of NaCl and NaF particles, even though the refractive index difference between solid inclusion and liquid host is 0.165 in the former and less than 0.009 in the latter. Furthermore, the fluctuation data of the pure NaCl deliquescence is applied to the ternary NaCl–CaCl₂–H₂O system and show good agreement with thermodynamic data.     

Digital holographic imaging of aerosol particles in flight

This work describes the design and application of an apparatus to image aerosol particles using digital holography in a flow-through, contact-free manner. Particles in an aerosol stream are illuminated by a triggered, pulsed laser and the pattern produced by the interference of this light with that scattered by the particles is recorded by a digital camera. The recorded pattern constitutes a digital hologram from which an image of the particles is computationally reconstructed using a fast Fourier transform. This imaging is validated using a cluster of ragweed pollen particles. Examples involving mineral-dust aerosols demonstrate the technique's in situ imaging capability for complex-shaped particles over a size range of roughly 15-500 μm micrometers. The focusing-like character of the reconstruction process is demonstrated using a NaCl aerosol particle and is compared to a similar particle imaged with a conventional microscope.     

UV laser irradiation of IR laser generated particles ablated from nitrobenzyl alcohol

Particles generated by 2.94 μm pulsed IR laser ablation of liquid 3-nitrobenzyl alcohol were irradiated with a 351 nm UV laser 3.5 mm above and parallel to the sample target. The size and concentration of the ablated particles were measured with a light scattering particle sizer. The application of the UV laser resulted in a reduction in the average particle size by one-half and an increase in the total particle concentration by a factor of nine. The optimum delay between the IR and UV lasers was between 16 and 26 μs and was dependent on the fluence of the IR laser: higher fluence led to a more rapid appearance of particulate. The ejection velocity of the particle plume, as determined by the delay time corresponding to the maximum two-laser particle concentration signal, was 130 m/s at 1600 J/m² IR laser fluence and increased to 220 m/s at 2700 J/m². The emission of particles extended for several ms. The observations are consistent with a rapid phase change and emission of particulate, followed by an extended emission of particles ablated from the target surface.     

Simultaneous imaging of Mie scattering,PAHs laser induced fluorescence and soot laser induced incandescence to a lab-scale turbulent jet pulverized coal flame

In this study, transient soot formation processes in a small-scale jet burner (CRIEPI burner) were investigated by simultaneous measurements of coal particles, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and soot. Pairs of simultaneous measurements of “Mie scattering measurement for coal particles with laser induced fluorescence (LIF) for PAHs” and “LIF for PAHs with laser induced incandescence (LII) for soot” were performed to understand the transitive formation processes of soot formation in pulverized coal flame, whose signals were successfully separated. Findings in the present study are as follows. Coal particles, PAHs and soot were distributed in this order in radial direction from the central axis. Existing regions of coal particles, PAHs and soot were overlapped from the time averaged viewpoint while there were few overlapping areas of coal particles, PAHs and soot from the instantaneous viewpoint. This result indicates that a long time is required for the formation of soot from 2 to 3 rings PAHs through larger PAHs.     

饱和激发下叶绿素荧光非线性变化及影响分析

叶绿素浓度是海洋初级生产力的重要指标之一,激光诱导荧光技术可以实现海水叶绿素浓度的快速测量。测量叶绿素浓度的传统激光诱导荧光原理,是利用叶绿素荧光与水体Raman散射的强度比值（I_F/R）进行反演,即叶绿素浓度n_chl＝CI_F/R,其中C为系统常量。这是依据叶绿素荧光685 nm、水体Raman散射强度都与激发光强呈线性关系。然而,该理论并没有考虑诱导荧光饱和现象的存在。当诱导激光强度达到一定程度后,685 nm荧光强度随激发光强非线性变化。另外,值得注意的是,水体Raman散射并不存在信号饱和现象。为了探讨饱和激发造成荧光非线性变化的影响,在激光诱导荧光技术测量叶绿素浓度的实验中,设计两种测量方案,即：不同激光功率诱导单一浓度样本的荧光测量,和固定激光功率时不同浓度样本的荧光测量。实验中利用Nd∶YAG三倍频激光355 nm激发获得叶绿素溶液的404 nm处 Raman散射和685 nm荧光。实验结果分为2部分进行讨论：（1）为了分析饱和激发造成荧光变化的非线性特性,通过调节激发光功率测量溶液的受激发射光谱,发现水体Raman散射强度与激发光强呈线性关系,而685 nm荧光强度出现饱和激发下的非线性变化。而且,随叶绿素浓度的增加,685 nm荧光的非线性趋势更为明显,Raman散射强度与激发光强的线性关系中斜率变小。数据分析表明,685 nm荧光数据拟合的4阶多项式和Raman散射效率值,可以定性地表征685 nm荧光的饱和程度。（2）考虑实际海洋激光雷达探测叶绿素浓度应用中存在饱和激发荧光非线性现象,为了分析荧光非线性对传统叶绿素浓度反演理论适用性的影响,在固定激发光强情况下对不同浓度叶绿素溶液的发射光谱进行测量。将激发光功率调节至52.00,80.70,132.10和197.30 mW·cm-2,获取相应激发光强下685 nm荧光与水体Raman散射的强度比值和叶绿素浓度之间的关系。实验表明,激发光强不变的情况下,685 nm荧光与水体Raman散射的强度比值,与叶绿素浓度仍满足线性关系。但是,在较高光强激发时,饱和激发造成的叶绿素荧光非线性变化,导致利用传统激光诱导荧光理论反演的叶绿素浓度值偏小。因此,需要对饱和激发下荧光非线性的影响进行修正,其关系为I_F/R=n_chl/C+C_F,修正值C_F不可忽略。另外,值得一提的是,修正关系中系统常量C随激发光强增加而增大。研究表明,饱和激发造成的荧光非线性,会对激光诱导荧光技术测量叶绿素浓度产生影响,但由于造成荧光非线性因素的复杂性,仅通过荧光数据拟合获得的多项式,无法定量说明其影响权重。然而,当激发光强不变时,可以实验测量获得基于激光诱导荧光原理的修正关系,从而准确反演叶绿素浓度。

Backscatter effects of surfaces composed of dry biological particles

We present the backscattering of particulate surfaces consisting of dry biological particles using two laboratory photopolarimeters that measure intensity and degree of linear polarization in a phase-angle range 0.2-60°. We measure scattering properties from three samples composed of dry biological particles, Bacillus subtilis var. niger (BG) spores and samples of fungi Aspergillus terreus and Sporisorium cruentum spores. We find that the surfaces display a prominent brightness opposition effect and significant negative polarization near backscattering angles. The brightness and polarimetric phase curves are different for B. subtilis and the fungi.

Laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy of NdO

Laser induced fluorescence spectra of ¹⁴²NdO have been excited using both fixed frequency argon ion and tunable ring dye lasers and detected at high resolution with a Fourier transform spectrometer. Nine low lying electronic states resulting from the Nd²⁺(4f³6s)O²⁻ configuration were detected of which four, the second lowest , 3, and 5 states, (2)2, (2)3, (2)5, and the lowest state, (1)6, have been observed for the first time. In addition, new vibrational levels were observed in the lowest , (1)5 (v=1) and second lowest , (2)4 (v=1, 2) states. Abnormally large Ω doubling in both states has been attributed to interactions involving neighboring and 0 states. Several perturbations were observed and used as an aid in assigning some of the states. Both the order and energies of the low lying states have been shown to be consistent with Ligand Field theory calculations. Rotational relaxation in several of the spectra has allowed calculation of accurate rotational constants for several states while, for other states, approximate parameters have been calculated from combination differences.     

SO2气体激光诱导色散荧光时间断层扫描研究

以纳秒Nd:YAG激光器的四倍频（266 nm）为激发源,利用门选通增强光学多通道光谱分析仪 (OMA),研究了SO2分子第一激发带粒子的荧光辐射与碰撞弛豫相结合的复杂退激发过程。通过对SO2分子第一激发带的激发及碰撞弛豫过程的时间断层扫描分析,可以将激光诱导色散荧光谱中以305.6 nm、337.2 nm为中心的荧光包络和以424.7 nm为中心的规则序列分别归属于B1B1、A1A2低振动能级和a3B1基振动能级到基电子态X1A1不同振动能级的荧光跃迁,由此可以确定大气污染气体SO2的诱导荧光的灵敏检测波长为425 nm;由规则序列的实验数据可以计算出SO2分子基电子态X1A1的对称振动和弯曲振动模式的基振动角频率分别为ω1= 1151.8±0.6 cm-1和ω2= 517.8±0.6 cm-1,两振动模式的非谐性常数分别为 = 8±0.6 cm-1和 = 9.2±0.6 cm-1。     

Unravelling overlaps and torsion-facilitated coupling using two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence

Two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence (2D-LIF) spectroscopy is employed to identify contributions to fluorescence excitation spectra that arise from both overlapping bands and coupling between zero-order states (ZOSs). Evidence is found for the role of torsional motion in facilitating the coupling between vibrations that particularly involves the lowest-wavenumber out-of-plane vibrational modes. The experiments are carried out on jet-cooled p-fluorotoluene, where the molecules are initially in the lowest two torsional levels. Here we concentrate on the 390–420?cm^?1 features in the S₁?←?S₀ excitation spectrum, assigning the features seen in the 2D-LIF spectrum, aided by separate dispersed fluorescence spectra. The 2D-LIF spectra allow the overlapping contributions to be cleanly separated, including some that arise from vibrational-torsional coupling. Various coupling routes open up because of the different symmetries of the lowest two torsional modes; these combine with the vibrational symmetry to provide new symmetry-allowed vibration-torsion (‘vibtor’) interactions, and the role of the excited m?=?1 torsional level is found to be significant.

模拟溢油样品激光诱导荧光光谱的偏振特性研究

激光诱导荧光是海洋溢油探测的有效手段之一,但该技术的应用易受自然水体中叶绿素、CDOM等物质荧光信号的干扰。为了寻求排除自然水体荧光干扰的方法,基于532 nm连续激光器搭建了激光诱导偏振荧光实验装置,并针对六种不同密度的模拟溢油样品和自然水体开展了荧光光谱偏振特性研究。实验结果发现,与自然水体的荧光光谱不具有明显的偏振特性不同,所有模拟溢油样品的诱导荧光均具有明显的偏振特性,这一结论说明激光诱导荧光光谱的偏振特性可以作为排除叶绿素、CDOM等物质荧光干扰的依据。实验还发现,溢油样品的荧光偏振性质因样品种类而异。在线偏振光激发下,原油样品荧光偏振度随波长逐渐降低,其中重质原油样品偏振度降低幅度最大,轻质原油样品幅度最小,而柴油样品荧光偏振度没有明显变化;当周期性改变激发光的偏振状态时,所有模拟溢油样品的荧光偏振度随之发生趋势相同的周期性波动,中质样品荧光偏振度波动的幅度低于重质样品,但明显超过轻质样品。这一结果说明,模拟溢油样品诱导荧光偏振度的波长变化特性及对激发光偏振态的响应特性均与样品密度存在一定关联,其偏振特性可以作为辅助油种识别的重要参量。     

Ultraviolet laser removal of small metallic particles from silicon wafers

Laser removal of small 1 μm sized copper, gold and tungsten particles from silicon wafer surfaces was carried out using ultraviolet radiation at 266 nm generated by Nd:YAG harmonic generation. Successful removal of both copper and gold particles from the surface was achieved whereas tungsten particles proved to be difficult to remove. The cleaning efficiency was increased with an increase of laser fluence. The optimum processing window for safe cleaning of the surface without any substrate damage was determined by measuring the damage threshold laser fluence on the silicon substrate and the required fluence for complete removal of the particles. The different cleaning efficiencies with particle type are discussed by considering the adhesion force of the particle on the surface and the laser-induced cleaning force for the three different particles.     

Laser spectroscopy of holmium monosulphide: Electronic, vibrational and rotational structure of the A[14.79]8.5-X8.5, A[14.79]8.5-W[0.25]7.5 and A[14.79]8.5-V[0.98]7.5 transitions

Laser induced fluorescence spectra of HoS have been obtained using a Broida oven and a ring dye laser. Dispersed fluorescence spectra showed transitions from a common upper state, A[14.79]8.5 to the v = 0 and 1 vibrational levels of three low lying states, labelled X8.5, W[0.25]7.5 and V[0.98]7.5 (the states are labelled [10⁻³T₀]Ω according to their energy and Ω assignment). High resolution excitation spectra were obtained for all six transitions and a rotational analysis yielded the following principal constants, in cm⁻¹, for the X, W and V states, respectively: T₀ = 0, 251.8713(31), 980.6969(37); B_e = 0.121903(42), 0.121729(37), 0.122561(34); ΔG_1/2 = 463.8811(46), 462.9411(45), 461.2084(127). For the A state, T₀ = 14794.6987(28) cm⁻¹ and B₀ = 0.112596(29) cm⁻¹. The three low lying states are shown to arise from the Ho²⁺[4f¹⁰(⁵I₈)6s]S²⁻ configuration in accord with Ligand Field Theory predictions. The atomic origin of each of the three low lying electronic states was determined from the observed resolved hyperfine structure.     

Dual fluorescence and laser emissions from fluorescein-Na and eosin-B

Dual laser emissions were observed from fluorescein-Na and eosin-B in ethanolic solutions individually in the concentration range from 10⁻² to 10⁻³ mol dm⁻³ under N₂ laser excitation. The first compound was found to lase at two distinct regions with wavelength maxima around 540, 550 nm, while the second one around 558, 574 nm. Steady-state absorption, fluorescence excitation, fluorescence polarization, fluorescence emission and decays of the dyes in various solvents under varying conditions of excitation and detection systems were carried out to identify the nature of the emitting species responsible for laser emissions in two distinct regions. Both the dyes exhibited concentration and excitation wavelength dependence of fluorescence and the effects were found to be more pronounced in binary solution. The fluorescence decays of dyes were monoexponential in ethanol, while in some other solvents used, the decays showed biexponential behavior. The absorption and excitation studies using thin layers of solutions revealed the formation of dimers with the dye concentration around 1×10⁻³ mol dm⁻³. Fluorescence polarization and decay studies confirmed the presence of dimers. The two laser bands observed in the shorter and longer wavelengths were respectively ascribed to monomeric and dimeric species.
