Abstract This work presents a femtosecond two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence (fs-TALIF) diagnostic for measuring ground-state atomic nitrogen in nanosecond repetitively pulsed (NRP) discharges. Absolute atom density is obtained from the TALIF signal via a novel calibration technique based on one-photon direct absorption measurements performed in a low-pressure DC discharge. The VUV measurements were done at the Soleil synchrotron facility using the high-resolution Fourier-transform spectrometer (minimum linewidth Δ̃ = 0.08 cm-1). The main goal of this work was to develop a quench-free diagnostic technique, which would allow measurements at elevated pressures with high spatial and temporal resolution. Here fs-TALIF measurements of N(4S) are demonstrated in the NRP post-discharge between 1-500 μs after the nanosecond high-voltage pulse. A maximum number density of N-atoms of × − was measured at 1 μs after the pulse when the discharge was operated at 1 bar in pure nitrogen. This corresponds to a dissociation fraction of ~ 0.1 %. The fs-TALIF technique at high laser intensity regime (> 1 TW cm-2) calibrated using VUV absorption was compared with the fs-TALIF at low laser intensity regime (< 100 MW cm-2) calibrated via the well-established non-saturated TALIF technique using krypton as an etalon gas. It was found that the two measurements of N(4S) in the NRP post-discharge agree within a factor of 3. Importantly, the limit of detection of the fs-TALIF at high laser intensity regime was determined to be ()~ e 1/. This is approximately one order of magnitude better than previously reported by ns-TALIF in low-pressure discharges.

Transient signals of optical nutations and free polarization decay arising in a gas 13CH3F (rotational transition R(4,3) of vibration mode 0–1 ν3 ) at the step-wise switch of electric field in the presence of resonant radiation of CO2 laser are investigated. In the limit of low intensity of radiation the peaks of free polarization decay are observed; the frequency of their appearance is proportional to the electric field strength. The number of observable peaks of free polarization decay decreases at laser intensity growth, and free polarization decay signal becomes indistinguishable at a background of optical nutations at high laser intensity. At high laser intensity the signal of transient optical nutations dominates. Results of calculations are in qualitative agreement with experimental data
