Abstract
Advances in high-resolution stimulated Raman spectroscopy (SRS) have provided a means for performing gas phase Raman studies with unprecedented spectral resolution (~.002 cm−1) and high sensitivity [1–3]. Studies in static cells at low (≤4 Torr) pressures have revealed a wealth of spectral detail inaccessible tó conventional Raman techniques. Investigations in flames [4] and supersonic free-expansion jets [5] have illustrated the spatial resolving power offered by SRS. In this paper we report a preliminary investigation into the use of SRS for high-resolution studies of transient species. Specifically, we are using SF6 molecules excited by a CO2 laser as a prototypical system for examining These capabilities.
