Reflectivity measurements on hot reactive liquids using a FIR laser.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The experimental procedures and precautions required to measure liquid-alloy reflectivities with a cw far infrared (FIR) laser are described. The output of a carefully stabilized optically pumped FIR laser was channeled to a melted sample contained in a silica holder under a He atmosphere. By maintaining specular reflection and alloy homogeneity, reflectivities reproducible to +/-7% were routinely obtained.

Optically Pumped FIR Laser Lines from CH3OH: New Laser Lines, Frequency Measurements, and Assignments.
We report the identification and characterization of eight new FIR laser lines from methanol (CH3OH) in the range 48.4 to 453.7 µm pumped by sequence and hot bands of a cw CO2 laser. Frequency measurements for most of the new FIR laser lines and from previously reported ones were obtained in the range 0.6-6.8 THz with a one-sigma reproducibility of two parts in 10(7). We propose an assignment o...
متن کاملExperimental Study of a Flash-lamp Pumped Passively Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Using Cr4+:YAG Saturable Absorber
This paper deals with the experimental results of a xenon flash-lamp pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser using Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber. The need of a laser cavity to be integrated into a time-of-flight laser range finder is of great interest as an experimental investigation of several laser resonators. Two types of laser resonator, with different lengths, have been studied: the flat-fl...
متن کاملShort-wavelength far-infrared laser cavity yielding new laser emissions in CD3OH
A significantly improved far-infrared laser has been used to generate optically pumped laser emissions from 26 to 150μm for CD3OH. Using an X–V-pumping geometry, several new laser emissions have been found for CD3OH. In addition, an increase in power, by factors from 10 to 1000, for many of the previously known shorter-wavelength laser lines, below 100μm, has been observed. Frequency measuremen...
متن کاملTheory of carrier dynamics and time resolved reflectivity in InxMn1−xAs/GaSb heterostructures
We present detailed theoretical calculations of two color, time-resolved pump-probe differential reflectivity measurements. The experiments modeled were performed on InxMn1−xAs/GaSb heterostructures and have shown pronounced oscillations in the differential reflectivity as well as a time-dependent background signal. Previously, we showed that the oscillations resulted from a generation of coher...
متن کاملPhase transition dynamics measurements in superheated liquids by monitoring the ejection of nanometer-thick films
The ejection dynamics of nanometer-thick liquid (isopropanol) films from a substrate caused by a phase transition in a superheated layer at the interface are studied. A nanosecond laser pulse is used to heat the substrate and as a result of heat transfer the fluid adjacent to the surface partially reaches a metastable state. Reflectivity and scattered light measurements demonstrate that the liq...
