Abstract
Interference-free hybrid femtosecond/picosecond vibrational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) of nitrogen is reported for temperature measurements of 1300–2300 K in high-pressure, laminar –air and –air diffusion flames up to 10 bar. Following coherent Raman excitation by 100 fs duration pump and Stokes pulses, a time-asymmetric probe pulse is used for the detection of spectrally resolved CARS signals at probe delays as early as . This allows for full rejection of nonresonant contributions while being independent of collisions for single-shot precision of at elevated pressures. The effects of collisions at longer probe-pulse delays are also investigated to determine the feasibility of varying the detection timing from 200 fs to 100 ps.
