Fsec CARS for Gas-Phase Diagnostics Fsec CARS for Gas-Phase Diagnostics
• Nsec CARS using (typically) a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and broadband dye laser is a well-established technique for combustion and plasma diagnostics
• Fsec lasers have much higher repetition rates than nsec Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers: > 1 kHz versus ~10 Hz
• But can we obtain a sufficient signal on a single laser shot to make measurements in turbulent environments? And how do we extract temperature and concentration from the signal?
Purdue University
Fsec CARS for Gas-Phase Diagnostics Fsec CARS for Gas-Phase Diagnostics
• Fsec CARS for H2 and N2 has been demonstrated
by Motzkus, Beaud, Knopp and colleagues primarily as a spectroscopic tool.
• For application as a diagnostic in turbulent flames, signal levels must be high enough to extract data on a single laser shot from a probe volume with maximum dimension ~ 1mm.
• How effectively can Raman transitions with line width ~ 0.1 cm-1 line width be excited by the fsec pump and Stokes beams (200 cm-1 bandwidth)?
Purdue University
Potential Advantages of Fsec CARSPotential Advantages of Fsec CARS
• Data rate of 1-10 kHz (yet to be demonstrated) would allow true time resolution, study of turbulent fluctuations
• Data rate of 1-10 kHz as opposed to 10 Hz would decrease test time considerably
• Fsec CARS, unlike nsec CARS, is insensitive to collision rates even up to pressure > 10 bars
• Fsec CARS signal increases with square of pressure

Raman Excitation for 70 Fs PulsesRaman Excitation for 70 Fs Pulses
• Despite the drastic difference in laser bandwidth (200 cm-1) and Raman line width (0.05 cm-1), the 70-fsec laser pulse excites the Raman transition very effectively.
• The 70-fsec pulse couples very effectively with the Raman transition because the Raman coherence is established by a two-photon process.
• The Q-branch transitions are excited to the same extent with the same initial phase

ConclusionsConclusions
• Initial fs CARS measurements show that temperature and concentration can be determined from temporal dependence of CARS signal in the first few fsec after “impulsive” pump-Stokes excitation. Measured flame temperatures appear to be very accurate.
• Fsec CARS offers some distinct (potential) advantages compared to nsec CARS
1 kHz data rate or greater Impulsive excitation, strong coherence at short
time delays No effect of collisions for short time delays You can see the fsec CARS signal from room air
