Maserlike nonlinear scatter from human breath, a surface-enhanced far infrared scatter effect

A cotton tip applicator was utilized to stimulate far IR scatter (emission) from human breath. The reticulated cotton tip was vibrated at 200 Hz, the acoustic frequency that matches the average vibration frequency of common species of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have open resonator dielectric sensillae (spines) on their antenna that match the 643 cm-1 (15.5) Cabannes line in the 667 cm-1 region of CO2 rotation line, acoustic Stokes Brillouin and Stokes Raman lines are noted. Implications of such maserlike (coherent or partial coherent) scatter lines to insect control and disease diagnostics are discussed.
