Abstract

Using a specially designed excimer-laser-pumped dye laser of adjustable bandwidth high-lying pure rotational transitions of both, ortho-and para-hydrogen have been identified by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS). As an interesting application H2-based CARS-thermometry is discussed.
