Laser interactions

Finally, Sections B3.4.10. touches on the application of quantum molecular dynamics to a very exciting field laser interactions with molecules. This field presents, in principle, the opportunity to influence chemistry by lasers rather than to simply observe it.

A better control on the electron spectrum can be obtained in experiments that employ gas-jets as target for laser interaction. Experiments performed with gas-jets enable the generation of electron bunches with a higher energy and a lower angular spread.

M. V. Korolkov, J. Manz, and G. K. Paramonov We are fully aware of the danger of using exceedingly intense IR picosecond/femto-second laser pulses for control of molecular vibrations or reactions. As a rule derived from laser interactions with atoms, the intensities should be below the Keldish limit [1],... 

Fig. 7.9. The positronium source and laser interaction region used by Fee and coworkers. A magnetic field of 100 G (0.01 T) guides the incident beam onto the target and also transports the positrons liberated from the photoionized 2S positronium to the detector.

Dirty Flames. At this point one could well ask so what happens in real combustors which are turbulent, soot and particle laden and are highly luminous By the end of this morning s session you should be convinced that CARS can be applied to these systems. I don t want to steal all of Alan Eckbreth s slides so I will show only two more. Figure 13 shows the BOXCARS spectrum of N- with a computer fit to a temperature of 2000°K in a laminar sooting propane diffusion flame (12). Figure 14 shows the vertical temperature profile for this same flame system. It should be pointed out that care must be taken under these conditions to account for the laser interaction with carbon in the flame which can generate laser induced Swan Band emission from C2-...
