Abstract
Pure rotational CARS spectra of N2, O2, air, and CO have been obtained using excimer laser pumped dye-lasers. The combination of the folded BOXCARS phase matching geometry with the broad-band laser multiplex method allowed high spatial and temporal resolution. Species and concentration analysis as well as thermometry up to 700 K is demonstrated, and possible applications are discussed.
