Broadband D2 coherent anti-stokes Raman spectroscopy for single-shot pressure and temperature determination with a Fabry-Perot etalon.
A method is demonstrated that employs a Fabry-Perot etalon to modulate a broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy signal beam spatially to obtain enhanced resolution and spectral information for single-shot measurements of pressure and temperature. Resulting images are analyzed by; first, fits to Fabry-Perot patterns for single rovibrational lines; second, a line-shape analysis for a single rovibrational line; and third, a mapping of the Fabry-Perot channel spectra to a linear spectrum. Measurements of the D(2) Raman Q-branch lines were made for a D(2) in Ar mixture to take advantage of the large pressure shift and rovibrational line spacing. Peaks are located to better than 0.5% of the free spectral range of the etalon (approximately 0.01 cm(-1)) and a quantitative analysis of the pressure shifting and broadening is determined for the 1-10-MPa range. Finally, temperature and pressure determination using a band-fitting analysis is demonstrated.
