Abstract / Description of output
We demonstrate hybrid femtosecond/picosecond (fs/ps) pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (RCARS) at high temperatures and pressures. Pulse-shaper-produced 40 fs pulses and bandwidth-narrowed, frequency-upconverted 5 ps pulses interact in a high-pressure cell containing N2 at 1–70 atm and 300–1000 K. Accurate experimental temperatures evaluated from fits to model rotational spectra confirm that the sensitivity and precision advantages of hybrid fs/ps RCARS can be exploited in characterizing combustion environments, even in the pressure regime where line-mixing and collisional energy transfer cannot be neglected.
