|August 18, 2009
Abstract:
We have observed stimulated rotational Raman scattering (SRRS) from para-H(2) pumped by a CO(2) TEA laser operating on the strong P- and R-branch transitions of both the 9.4- and 10.6-microm bands. Small signal gain for the Stokes wave in excess of 80 dB has been obtained for TEM(00) pump powers of 8.5 MW in a multiple-pass gain cell cooled to liquid-nitrogen temperatures.

Raman Spectroscopy: Overview
The underlying principle of Raman spectroscopy is based on the interaction between light and matter, specifically molecules' inelastic scattering of photons. When a monochromatic beam of light, typically from a laser source, interacts with a sample, most scattered light has the same frequency as the incident light. This is known as Rayleigh scattering.
However, a small fraction of the scattered light exhibits a frequency shift due to the exchange of energy between the incident photons and the...

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
A conventional Raman spectrophotometer includes a laser source, a sample holding system, a wavelength selector, and a detector.
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
