Spectrum evolutions of spontaneous and pump-depleted stimulated Brillouin scatterings in liquid media

A theoretical model for calculating spontaneous and stimulated Brillouin scattering(SBS) spectra is described. An empirical formula for the Stokes output spectral linewidth, a function of spontaneous Brillouin linewidth and the exponential gain coefficient, is obtained by the calculated data fitting. The formula holds true for two cases involving pump undepletion and depletion. The lineshape change from spontaneous to highly pump-depleted SBS spectra is also investigated. The result shows that for the pump power below the SBS threshold, the Stokes output spectral lineshape evolves from Lorentzian to approximately Gaussian as the pump power increases. For the pump power near or beyond the threshold, the SBS spectrum is in the form of a steady Gaussian profile, and the spectral linewidth comes to a certain value about 7 times narrower than the spontaneous one. The theoretical results are experimentally demonstrated by using several common liquid media.     

Influence of transmitted-laser linewidth on sensitivity and error of double-edge wind lidars

We present the results of study of the influence of the transmitted-laser linewidth on the measurement sensitivity and error of a double-edge incoherent wind lidar. The quantitative relationship between the transmitted-laser linewidth and the full width at a half maximum (FWHM) of the backscattered spectrum was simulated using the Monte Carlo method, because such relationship cannot be given by an analytic formula. The quantitative relationship was fitted using a quadratic fit and was further employed for calculating the measurement sensitivity and error. The FWHM of the backscattered spectrum increased from 3.884 GHz to 5.407 GHz, while the transmitted-laser linewidth increased from a monochromatic one to 2 GHz. The measurement greatly suffered from the broadening of the transmitted-laser linewidth. The measurement sensitivity decreased from 0.0031 to 0.0019 and the measurement error increased from 0.326 m/s to 0.524 m/s, while the signal-to-noise ratio and laser shots were both 1000.

Lineshape analysis of the J = 3 ← 2 and J = 5 ← 4 rotational transitions of room temperature CO broadened by N2, O2, CO2 and noble gases

Collisional relaxation has been considered for millimeter lines of carbon monoxide at room temperature. Accurate measurements of carbon dioxide- and rare gases-broadened widths have been performed on the J = 3 ← 2 rotational line of ¹²CO by using a video-type spectrometer. Measurements of nitrogen-, oxygen-, and xenon-broadened widths of the J = 5 ← 4 rotational line of ¹³CO were also carried by using a frequency-modulated spectrometer. A lineshape study performed on all the investigated binary systems provide confirmation that Voigt profile is not a suitable model to analyse experimental lines in the millimeter-waves region. On one hand, using this profile in the low pressure range, i.e. in the Doppler regime, the retrieved collisional linewidths do not follow a linear variation with the perturbing gas pressure. On the other hand, regardless of the pressure, lineshapes exhibit a narrowed profile. An accurate analysis of the pressure dependence of relaxation rates show that the Galatry profile is not appropriate and that experimental lineshapes are actually Speed Dependent Voigt profiles. Accurate broadening parameters were retrieved from this profile and compared to previous reported values and predictions calculated from the Robert-Bonamy formalism. Finally a variation of the ratio of relaxation speed dependence to broadening parameters versus relative masses of the collision partners is presented.

Linewidth Analysis of Spin Labels in Liquids: I. Theory and Data Analysis

We present a method of simulating the EPR spectra of spin labels in liquids using direct convolution of hyperfine splitting with Lorentzian linewidths. The aim is to simulate the experimental lineshape by considering all spectrometer characteristics as well as inhomogeneous and homogeneous linewidth effects. A major advance in this method is the correction for the broadening produced by Zeeman modulation commonly used to obtain EPR signals; this allows experimenters much more freedom to optimize their experimental conditions for the best signal-to-noise ratio. Microwave power broadening (saturation) effects on the EPR lines are significant even at very low observer levels. Successful simulation requires that all contributions from unresolved hyperfine splittings be explicitly included. Inhomogeneous broadening is dealt with by including all spins that interact with the electron (as a set of superhyperfine interactions); there is no "effective Gaussian" to substitute for the correct superhyperfine interactions. The effects of spin exchange on the linewidth and lineshape can be observed and must be taken into account in order to extract the fundamental linewidths.     

两台独立激光器拍频线型对线宽测量的影响

根据两台独立激光器拍频的理论模型,计算得到了洛伦兹线型和高斯线型的拍频线宽随衰减值的变化关系。为了提高激光线宽测量精度,在未知拍频线型时应选取较小的衰减值计算激光线宽;在已知拍频线型的情况下可选取较大的衰减值计算激光线宽。实验上采用窄线宽半导体激光器拍频测量其激光线宽,根据几个特殊衰减值处的线宽比值关系来判别拍频线型。选用较大衰减值处的拍频线宽计算激光线宽,测量结果与仪器出厂指标相比,误差仅为0.23%。该方法对其他线型仍然适用。
