Temperature measurement in gas mixtures by femtosecond Raman-induced polarization spectroscopy
European Conference on Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy (ECONOS) MAR 30-APR 01, 2003 BESANCON, FRANCE; The potential of femtosecond Raman-induced polarization spectroscopy (RIPS) for the simultaneous determination of temperature and concentrations was investigated. These measurements were related to the rotational time response of the molecular gas mixture, which was measured as a function of the pump-probe time delay. The change of the polarizability anisotropy with respect to the vibrational levels was taken into account. The results of temperature measurements in pure CO2 showed good agreement with the values obtained by a thermocouple. The RIPS technique was also applied to a CO2-N2 gas m…

Laser-induced field-free alignment of OCS molecule
International audience; We investigate the dynamical alignment of jet-cooled OCS molecules induced by a short laser pulse. The alignment is measured through the orientational contribution of the optical Kerr effect using a second weak laser pulse as a probe. Maximum alignment is observed at conditions close to saturation of ionization. The results are analysed with a quantum mechanical model solving for the rotational dynamics.
