Laser-Based Optical Detection of Explosives offers a comprehensive review of past, present,
and emerging laser-based methods for the detection of a variety of explosives. This book …

The compelling need for standoff detection of hazardous gases and vapor indicators of
explosives has motivated the development of a remotely pumped, high-gain air laser that …

A hybrid fs/ps pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) scheme is
systematically evaluated over a wide range of flame conditions in the product gases of two …

The purpose of this review is to provide a concise overview of recent advances in the
broadly defined field of Raman spectroscopy as reflected in part by the many articles …

We introduce an advanced and flexible spectral focusing coherent anti-Stokes Raman
scattering (CARS) microspectroscopy scheme based on the independent control of pump …

Single-shot, 1-kHz measurements of temperatures and mole fraction ratios along with
theoretical modeling for gas-phase N 2, O 2, and CO 2 are demonstrated using hybrid …

Expensive, delicate, and difficult to operate, femtosecond lasers have already won two
Nobel Prizes and created multi-billion dollar industries. As these lasers break out of …

The use of femtosecond-laser sources for the diagnostics of combustion and reacting-flow
environments requires detailed knowledge of optical dispersive properties of the medium …

A novel approach for spectral focusing using a single-beam coherent anti-Stokes Raman
scattering setup with a pulse shaper controlling the phase and amplitude is presented. By …

Concentration measurements are performed in argon–nitrogen and carbon monoxide–
