The iron-atom concentration distribution as well as the gas-phase temperature was measured via laser-induced fluorescence
(LIF) during iron-oxide nanoparticle synthesis in a low-pressure hydrogen/oxygen/argon flame reactor using ironpentacarbonyl
(Fe(CO)5) as precursor. Temperature measurements based on multi-line NO-LIF imaging are used to correct for temperature-dependent
ground-state populations. The concentration measurement is calibrated based on line-of-sight absorption measurements. The
influence of the precursor on the flame is observed at precursor concentrations larger than 70 ppm as the flame front moves
closer to the burner surface with increasing Fe(CO)5 concentration. 相似文献

We have proposed a laser isotope separation method, utilizing rotational coherence of a simple molecule. In the scheme, photoexcited
molecules are isotopically separated by difference of rotational period between them. To illustrate this method, two-pulse
photodissociation of mixed 79Br2/81Br2 isotopes has been investigated theoretically. The photodissociation probabilities of 79Br2 and 81Br2 have been calculated as functions of time delay between the photoexcitation and dissociation laser pulses. We have demonstrated
that isotope enrichment factor of 79Br relative to 81Br can be changed from 0.34 to 1.8, by simply changing the time delay only by 0.2 ns. Additionally, we have shown that this
method is effective for heavy isotopes, based on mass dependence of the isotope enrichment factor. 相似文献

We have investigated the effects of chemical etching on Raman spectra of porous silicon. The as-anodized porous silicon consisted
mainly of crystalline silicon, as indicated by the Raman spectra. The background in the spectrum was strong, indicating that
the porous silicon surface was rough due to the presence of pores. When chemical etching was performed five times, the Raman
spectrum revealed the presence of spherically shaped nanocrystalline silicon whose diameter was around 3.5 nm. Further chemical
etching, however, extinguished the nanocrystallites, in addition to smoothing the surface morphology. 相似文献

An injection-seeded optical parametric generator (OPG), coupled with three pulsed dye amplification (PDA) stages, was shown
to produce tunable, narrow linewidth laser radiation. The OPG was composed of a pair of beta barium borate (β-BBO) crystals and pumped by the third harmonic (355 nm) output of a seeded Nd:YAG laser. The OPG was injection-seeded at
the idler wavelength (824 nm) using an external cavity diode laser (ECDL) with a mode-hop-free tuning range of 20 GHz. Using
the PDA stages, the OPG output signal (624 nm) was amplified to 19 mJ/pulse, while maintaining a spectral linewidth of approximately
160 MHz at full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) which was within a factor of 2 of the Fourier limit. A system of lenses and apertures
was used to minimize amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in the PDA stages. Using the OPG/PDA system, two-photon laser-induced
fluorescence measurements of atomic oxygen were performed by sum-frequency-mixing the 624-nm beam with the third harmonic
output of the seeded Nd:YAG laser to generate approximately 1 mJ/pulse of ultraviolet radiation near 226 nm. Voigt line shapes
were found to be in good agreement with oxygen atom spectra in atmospheric-pressure, laminar, counter-flow flames; the magnitude
of Doppler and collisional broadening was approximately the same. The measured O-atom concentration profile was found to compare
well with that calculated using an opposed-flow flame code. 相似文献

A simple method to produce longer filaments with higher ionization density in air by controlling the diameter of an aperture
in the laser beam path is studied via an analysis of the backscattered N2 fluorescence collected by LIDAR. Significant increase in the fluorescence signal (approximately by a factor of five depending
on the conditions) and an increased filament length was observed at an optimum diameter. 3D + time stochastic numerical simulations
have shown that the optimum aperture size corresponds to the case of multiple filament ‘squeezing’ around the propagation
axis forming the regularized elongated structure with higher overall amount of plasma. The optimum range of aperture sizes
is the same for the initial transverse perturbation scale variation at least within a factor of three. 相似文献

The Lamb dip of CO rovibrational transition is detected by a room temperature extracavity RF optogalvanic cell and employed
to stabilize the frequency of a CO laser. The S/N ratio of optogalvanic signal is about 2000
at optical power < 1 W. The relative depth of Lamb dip is 2.3%. The S/N ratios of first and third harmonic demodulated saturation
signals are about 40
and 10
, respectively. The CO laser is stabilized using the first harmonic demodulated signal, and the frequency stability is better
than 300 kHz.
Concurrently, the influences of operational parameters, which include the coil current, partial pressures of gas mixture,
are investigated. A simple model for the influence of coil current is presented, and further improvements are addressed as
well. 相似文献

Efficient nanosecond stimulated Raman scattering is observed in KTiOAsO4 within an intracavity Raman laser configuration. A diode-end-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched Nd:YAG laser emitting at 1064.2 nm is employed as the pumping source. And efficient generation of the first-Stokes
line at 1091.5 nm is observed. With an incident diode power of 8.11 W, a first-Stokes power of 1.38 W is obtained at a pulse
repetition rate of 25 kHz, corresponding to a diode-to-Stokes conversion efficiency of 17%. The pulse width is 6.5 ns and
the peak power is 8.5 kW. The performance characteristics of the device demonstrate that KTiOAsO4 is competent and reliable for nanosecond Raman lasers. 相似文献

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) featuring sub-nanosecond response time takes place at a high power threshold, which
enables its application at a high power density. When the intensity of input light excesses the SBS threshold, strong SBS
process takes place through SBS medium, leading to a quick energy transfer from pump to the Stokes and thereby an optical
limiting characteristic in the output energy. In this paper, the correlation between SBS output energy and input power density
is numerically simulated and validated in the Nd: YAG Q-switch laser system. The results indicate that not only the output
energy exhibits an optical limiting characteristic, but also the clamped value of output energy can be controlled by changing
the medium or the focal length. 相似文献

One of the problems when increasing the intensity of a femtosecond laser pulse is the propagation of the beam. As the intensity
increases nonlinear effects begin to play a significant role. When arriving to the terawatt domain, nonlinear effects and
filamentation give rise to a new phenomenology in the propagation. The aim of this paper is to analyze new possibilities to
control the beam shape to Taylor the interaction of the beam with the target at large distances. 相似文献

High-resolution infrared polarization spectroscopy (IR-PS) and degenerate four wave mixing (IR-DFWM) spectroscopy of methane
using a diode-seeded modeless laser (DSML) system are reported. Mid-infrared radiation around 3.3 μm is generated by difference
frequency mixing of the single-mode output of the DSML around 0.634 μm with the frequency-doubled output of a single-mode
Nd:YAG pump laser at 0.532 μm. Polarization spectroscopy signals in the forward geometry were generated in methane at around
5 Torr pressure. IR-PS spectra were recorded with a typical signal-to-noise ratio of 150:1 with methane pressures of at least
1 Torr. The line shape of the IR-PS signals was analysed to measure pressure broadening induced by nitrogen buffer gas yielding
a value of 6.3±1.5 MHz Torr−1. IR-DFWM spectra of methane were generated in the counter-propagating pump geometry yielding Doppler-free signals with signal-to-noise
ratios of typically 650:1. Signals were obtained at methane pressures down to less than 10 mTorr. A comparison of IR-PS and
IR-DFWM is made indicating that IR-DFWM has some advantages over IR-PS in this spectral region in terms of sensitivity, signal-to-noise
ratio and ease of use. The results illustrate the utility of the DSML for high-resolution nonlinear spectroscopy in the mid
infrared. 相似文献

The energy relaxation of electrons in InN epilayers is investigated by excitation- and electric field-dependent photoluminescence
(PL). From the high-energy tail of PL, we determine the electron temperature of the hot carriers. It was found that the electron
temperature variation can be explained by a model in which the longitudinal optical (LO)-phonon emission is the dominant energy
relaxation process. The LO-phonon lifetime is fitted to be 0.89 ps, which is higher than the theoretical phonon lifetime.
This deviation is attributed to the presence of the non-equilibrium hot-phonon effects.

Single-pulse Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Laser-Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass-Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS)
were applied for mapping the silver and copper distribution in Helianthus Annuus L. samples treated with contaminant in controlled conditions. For Ag and Cu detection the 328.07 nm Ag(I) and 324.75 nm Cu(I)
lines were used, respectively. The LIBS experimental conditions (mainly the laser energy and the observation window) were
optimized in order to avoid self-absorption effect in the measured spectra. In the LA-ICP-MS analysis the Ag 107 and Cu 63
isotopes were detected. The capability of these two analytical techniques for high-resolution mapping of selected trace chemical
elements was demonstrated. 相似文献

We propose an idea of fast cutting a display glass plate where the sample is pre-processed micromachining single shot rear-surface
and internal void arrays aligned on working plane prior to glass cleaving. Single shot void morphology is investigated varying
input pulse energy, focusing depth, and scanning speed. A femtosecond laser with pulse duration of 172 fs, central wavelength
of 780 nm, and repetition rate of 1 kHz is used to fabricate voids. 相似文献

We report on monitoring of nitric oxide (NO) traces in human breath via infrared cavity leak-out spectroscopy. Using a CO
sideband laser near 5 μm wavelength and an optical cavity with two high-reflectivity mirrors (R=99.98%), the minimum detectable absorption is 2×10−10 cm−1 Hz1/2. This allows for spectroscopic analysis of rare NO isotopologues with unprecedented sensitivity. Application to simultaneous
online detection of 14NO and 15NO in breath samples collected in the nasal cavity is described for the first time. We achieved a noise-equivalent detection
limit of 7 parts per trillion for nasal 15NO (integration time: 70 s). 相似文献

Spectroscopic concentration measurements of ammonia and ethylene were done with a pulsed, distributed feedback (DFB) quantum
cascade (QC) laser centered at 970 cm−1. An astigmatic Herriot cell with 150 m path length was employed, and we compare the results from experiments using inter-
and intrapulse techniques, respectively. The measurements include the detection of ammonia in breath with these methodologies.
In the interpulse technique, the laser was excited with short current pulses (5–10 ns), and the pulse amplitude was modulated
with an external current ramp resulting in a ∼0.3 cm−1 frequency scan. A standard amplitude demodulation technique was implemented for extracting the absorption line, thus avoiding
the need for a fast digitizer or a gated integrator. In the intrapulse technique, a linear frequency down-chirp is used for
sweeping across the absorption line. A 200 ns long current pulse was used for these measurements which resulted in a spectral
window of ∼1.74 cm−1 during the down-chirp. The use of a room temperature mercury-cadmium-telluride detector resulted in a completely cryogen
free spectrometer. We demonstrate detection limits of ∼3 ppb for ammonia and ∼5 ppb for ethylene with less than 10 s averaging
time with the intrapulse method and ∼4 ppb for ammonia and ∼7 ppb for ethylene with the interpulse technique with an integration
time of ∼5 s. 相似文献

5/2 clock transition of the 88Sr+ optical frequency standard. The performance of the laser system is investigated with studies of its frequency drift rates
and with high resolution spectra of the 88Sr+ clock transition. The observed short-term drift rates are typically in the range of 10 to 23 mHz/s, and the current long-term
drift rate is 13.9(3) mHz/s. The laser stability, after subtraction of linear drifts, reaches 5×10−16 at an averaging time of 3000 s. This high level of stability is attributed for the most part to stabilization of the reference
cavity at the temperature where the coefficient of linear thermal expansion crosses zero. An upper bound for the laser linewidth
is given by the observation of a Fourier-transform limited resonance of 4.3 Hz (Δν/ν=1×10−14) on the 88Sr+ clock transition. The effective averaging time during the linewidth measurements was about 100 s. 相似文献

The generalized density matrix of superfluid inhomogeneous Fermi systems is expanded in powers of up to order 2. This constitutes the generalisation of the Wigner Kirkwood -expansion of the density matrix of normal fluid systems to the pairing case.One of the authors (P.S.) is very grateful to D. Gogny for contributions in an early stage of this work several years back. He also acknowledges fruitful discussions with M. Centelles and X. Vinas. 相似文献

We demonstrate that for a given pump source, there is an optimum pump threshold to achieve the maximum single-frequency output
power in singly resonant optical parametric oscillators. Therefore, cavity losses and parametric amplification have to be
adjusted. In particular, continuous-wave output powers of 1.5 W were achieved with a 2.5 cm lithium niobate crystal in comparison
with 0.5 W by a 5 cm long crystal within the same cavity design. This counter-intuitive result of weaker amplification leading
to larger powers can be explained using a model from L.B. Kreuzer (Proc. Joint Conf. Lasers and Opt.-Elect., p. 52, 1969). Kreuzer also states that single-mode operation is possible only up to pump powers which are 4.6 times the threshold value.
Additionally, implementing an outcoupling mirror to increase losses, single-frequency waves with powers of 3 W at 3.2 μm and 7 W at 1.5 μm could be generated simultaneously. 相似文献

Quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) sensors are based on a recent approach to photoacoustic detection which
employs a quartz tuning fork as an acoustic transducer. These sensors enable detection of trace gases for air quality monitoring,
industrial process control, and medical diagnostics. To detect a trace gas, modulated laser radiation is directed between
the tines of a tuning fork. The optical energy absorbed by the gas results in a periodic thermal expansion which gives rise
to a weak acoustic pressure wave. This pressure wave excites a resonant vibration of the tuning fork thereby generating an
electrical signal via the piezoelectric effect. This paper describes a theoretical model of a QEPAS sensor. By deriving analytical
solutions for the partial differential equations in the model, we obtain a formula for the piezoelectric current in terms
of the optical, mechanical, and electrical parameters of the system. We use the model to calculate the optimal position of
the laser beam with respect to the tuning fork and the phase of the piezoelectric current. We also show that a QEPAS transducer
with a particular 32.8 kHz tuning fork is 2–3 times as sensitive as one with a 4.25 kHz tuning fork. These simulation results
closely match experimental data. 相似文献

We have observed the motion of Sm+ ions as well as Sm atoms produced by femtosecond laser ablation of a solidified samarium solution sample on substrates by
using a planar laser-induced fluorescence method. Kinetic energies of both Sm+ ions and Sm atoms increase as the electrical conductivity of the substrate decreases, which suggests the effect of surface
charging. The kinetic energy of Sm+ ions is larger than that of Sm atoms for a variety of substrates due to the further electrical acceleration by the surface
charge. The knowledge of ion motion will be the key information for the optimization of femtosecond laser simultaneous atomization
and ionization of organic and inorganic samples on substrates. 相似文献
