Absolute measurement of the transient optical nonlinearity in N2, O2, N2O, and Ar
نویسندگان
چکیده
The absolute time-dependent nonlinear response of O2, N2, N2O, and Ar to intense nonionizing, ultrashort optical pump pulses is measured with single-shot spectral interferometry. The instantaneous and delayed rotational responses are distinguished as a function of pump-pulse duration and probe central wavelength. Our measurements are central to the modeling and understanding of nonlinear propagation of intense ultrashort laser pulses in gases.

Mechanistic aspects of N2O and N2 formation in NO reduction by NH3 over Ag/Al2O3: the effect of O2 and H2
A mechanistic scheme of N2O and N2 formation in the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 (NH3-SCR) over a Ag/Al2O3 catalyst in the presence and absence of H2 and O2 was developed by applying a combination of different techniques: transient experiments with isotopic tracers in the temporal analysis of products (TAP) reactor, HRTEM, in situ UV/vis and in situ FTIR spectroscopy. Based on t...
متن کاملXenon and nitrous oxide do not depress cardiac function in an isolated rat heart model.
PURPOSE To examine the inotropic and chronotropic effects of xenon (Xe) and nitrous oxide (N2O) compared with nitrogen (N2) on isolated rat hearts. The differences between Xe and N2O were also compared. METHODS The effects of Xe, N2O and N2 on coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), heart rate, left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and double product (DP) were examined in isolated rat hearts ...
متن کاملChemical formation of hybrid di-nitrogen calls fungal codenitrification into question
Removal of excess nitrogen (N) can best be achieved through denitrification processes that transform N in water and terrestrial ecosystems to di-nitrogen (N2) gas. The greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) is considered an intermediate or end-product in denitrification pathways. Both abiotic and biotic denitrification processes use a single N source to form N2O. However, N2 can be formed from two ...

In this contribution, the Co doped SnO2 transparent semi-conducting films are prepared by spray pyrolysis technique and the influence of N2-and Ar-ambient annealing on their structural, electrical and optical properties are studied. The SnO2:Co thin films were deposited on the glass substrate at substrate temperature of 480 ˚C using an aqueous-ethanol solution consisting of tin and cobalt chlor...
متن کاملOptical nonlinearity in Ar and N2 near the ionization threshold.
We directly measure the nonlinear optical response in argon and nitrogen in a thin gas target to laser intensities near the ionization threshold. No instantaneous negative nonlinear refractive index is observed, nor is saturation, in contrast with a previous measurement [Opt. Express 17, 13429 (2009)] and calculations [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 183902 (2011)]. In addition, we are able to cleanly se...
