Description:
Attention is given to the implementation of a novel reflective optics configuration in which the lens normally employed for focusing and crossing the input laser beams in Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is replaced by a spherical mirror, allowing large crossing angles to be obtained with a single focusing device and permitting the laser generation and collection equipment to be located on one side of the sample region. The experimental results obtained demonstrate the feasibility of mirror-based CARS in remote combustion diagnostics.
