Double-pulse one-dimensional Raman and Rayleigh measurements for the detection of temporal and spatial structures in
Abstract:
A novel spectroscopic technique for the observation of the temporal development of small spatial structures of temperature and major-species mole fractions in turbulent f lames has been developed. It uses two independent lasers and linewise, single-pulse detection systems for Raman-Rayleigh-scattered light. With this technique, all major-species concentrations, temperature, and positions of vortices and f lame fronts, combined with scalar dissipation in two directions or heat release, can be measured, for the first time to our knowledge, as a result of one pair of laser pulses separated either in space or time. This yields, to our knowledge, the highest number of correlated quantities that have been obtained in probing turbulent f lames of simple chemistry.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
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...
