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

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

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 report the effects of self-mixing interference on gas detection using tunable diode laser spectroscopy. For very weak feedback,
the laser diode output intensity gains a sinusoidal modulation analogous to that caused by low finesse etalons in the optical
path. Our experiments show that self-mixing interference can arise from both specular reflections (e.g. cell windows) and
diffuse reflections (e.g. Spectralon™ and retroreflective tape), potentially in a wider range of circumstances than etalon-induced interference. The form and magnitude
of the modulation is shown to agree with theory. We have quantified the effect of these spurious signals on methane detection
using wavelength modulation spectroscopy and discuss the implications for real gas detectors. 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

A compact photoacoustic gas sensor based on a quartz tuning fork and fiber-coupled distributed feedback (DFB) diode laser
for detection of trace gas at atmospheric pressure has been developed. The sensor performance was evaluated by detection of
water vapor in ambient air at normal atmospheric pressure. A normalized noise equivalent absorption coefficient of 1.68×10−8 cm−1 W/Hz1/2 was achieved. Influence of different acoustic microresonators and sample pressure on the sensor performance, and the characterization
of the sensor response time were investigated. Approaches to improve the current sensor performance are discussed. 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

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

A flexible and portable trace nitrogen dioxide sensor based on cavity ringdown spectroscopy using an optical fiber-coupled
high-finesse cavity was successfully demonstrated. Tailoring the spatial mode matching condition of the core of an optical
fiber and high-finesse external cavity allows for effective optical feedback into an antireflection-coated laser diode for
stable resonant enhancement of the external cavity. The external cavity, which works as a ringdown cavity, could be remotely
located from the light source and receiver section by only a single mode optical fiber. The sensitivity was found to be 1.0×10−7 cm−1 in a compact 1-cm3 ringdown cavity volume. 相似文献

Thin film laser micromachining has been utilized for repairing semiconductor masks, creating solar cells and fabricating MEMS
devices. A unique high repetition rate femtosecond fiber laser system capable of variable repetition rates from 200 KHz to
25 MHz along with helium gas assist was used to study the effect of pulse repetition rate and pulse energy on femtosecond
laser machining of gold-coated silicon wafer. It was seen that high repetition rates lead to smaller craters with uniform
line width. Craters created at 13 MHz pulse repetition rate with 2.042 J/cm2 beam energy fluence measured 110 nm in width and had a heat affected zone of 0.79 μm. It was found that pulse repetition
rate only played a significant role in the size of the heat affected zone in the lower pulse energy ranges. In the future,
a 1 W laser system will be acquired to find the optimal repetition rate that would create the minimal feature size with the
least heat affected zone. Using this kind of setup along with techniques such as radial polarization and a different gas assist
may enable us to create sub 100 nm feature size with good quality. 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

Fluorescence lifetimes of formaldehyde excited at 352 nm (
A2 –
A1 401 band) were measured as a function of bath gas pressure. He, N2, O2, CO2 and HCHO were investigated for the bath gas and the temperature dependence between 298 and 500 K for N2 and O2 bath gases was also examined. It was found that the non-linear pressure dependence of the lifetime is successfully reproduced by the model formula
where [M] is the concentration of a bath gas and kf, kq, ka, kb and kp are the constants determined for each bath gas. This model assumes that the optically excited formaldehyde undergoes a reversible collision transfer to a state of higher spontaneous decay rate along with direct collisional and spontaneous deactivation pathways. It was confirmed that a lifetime in a bath gas mixture can be reproduced by this formula with the constants individually obtained as linear combinations of each bath gas contribution. The temperature dependence is expressed by assigning activation energies for the constants in the formula. 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

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 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.

We analyze several possibilities for precisely measuring electronic transitions in
atomic helium by the direct use of phase-stabilized femtosecond frequency combs. Because the comb
is self-calibrating and can be shifted into the ultraviolet spectral region via harmonic
generation, it offers the prospect of greatly improved accuracy for UV and far-UV transitions. To
take advantage of this accuracy an ultracold helium sample is needed. For measurements of the
triplet spectrum a magneto-optical trap (MOT) can be used to cool and trap metastable 23S
state atoms. We analyze schemes for measuring the two-photon 23S →43S interval, and for resonant two-photon excitation to high Rydberg states, 23S →33P →n3S, D. We also analyze experiments on the singlet-state spectrum. To accomplish this we propose schemes for producing and trapping
ultracold helium in the 11S or 21S state via intercombination transitions. A particularly intriguing scenario is the possibility of measuring the 11S →21S transition with extremely high accuracy by use of two-photon excitation in a magic wavelength trap that operates identically
for both states. We predict a “triple magic wavelength” at 412 nm that could facilitate numerous experiments on trapped helium
atoms, because here the polarizabilities of the 11S, 21S and 23S states are all similar, small, and positive. 相似文献

Novel experimental data on microstructuring of thin (60 nm) gold films by femtosecond laser pulses are presented and discussed.
Material modifications are induced by different laser field distributions on the sample surface. Images of specially fabricated
masks are transferred onto the gold surface with a 50× and 100× demagnifications. It is shown that, in the irradiated region
of the gold film, the heated material tends to concentrate in the center. For example, a square-like field distribution on
the target surface produces a cross with a jet in the middle. It is shown that this technique allows producing of a variety
of microstructures with controllable nanorelief. Possible mechanisms leading to the observed material modifications as well
as the resolution limits of this technique are discussed. 相似文献

The first use of CO2 laser photoacoustic measurements for detecting the methanol contents in alcohol-like solutions is presented. With an intracavity
cell configuration, the minimum detectable concentration was ∼200 ppm for methanol and the linear range of the calibration
curve for methanol was from 200 to 70000 ppm. For demonstrating the reliability of analysis in alcoholic beverages, a series
of different concentrations of two-component samples was prepared and measured by the same procedures. The results showed
the feasibility on determining methanol and ethanol contents accurately within a specific tolerance, limited mainly by background
signal and laser stability. This potential method with no pre-treatment of samples takes only ∼10 min to finish one single
measurement. It suggests that the PA detection is suitable for routine diagnosis of adulterated wines in commercial products. 相似文献

Cavity ringdown (CRD) spectroscopy, with its high sensitivity, provides a novel way to perform continuous-wave (cw) stimulated
Raman gain (SRG) spectroscopy, rather than by conventional optically detected coherent Raman techniques. Tunable cw laser
light at ∼1544 nm is used to probe ringdown decay from a rapidly-swept, high-finesse optical cavity containing a gas-phase
sample of interest and itself located inside the cavity of a cw single-longitudinal-mode Nd:YAG ring laser operating at ∼1064.4
nm. This approach is used to measure cw SRG spectra of the ν
1 fundamental rovibrational Raman band of methane gas at ∼2916.5 cm−1. The resulting SRG-CRD resonances have ringdown times longer than in the off-resonance case, in contrast to the usual shorter
ringdown times arising from absorption and other loss processes. Previously reported noise-equivalent sensitivities have been
substantially improved, by using a second ringdown cavity to facilitate subtraction of infrared-absorption background signals.
Moreover, by employing a ringdown cavity in the form of a ring, the SRG-pump and CRD-detected Stokes beams can co-propagate
uni-directionally, which significantly reduces Doppler broadening. 相似文献
