Mazza, F. (author), Castellanos, Leonardo (author), Klyukin, Dmitry (author), Bohlin, G.A. (author)Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy has been used to provide gas-phase quantitative scalar information (e.g. temperature, density, and species concentrations) for more than 5 decades. This technique is renowned for its ability to realize non-intrusive in-situ measurements in harsh environments with excellent spatial and...book chapter 2024

Mazza, F. (author), Thornquist, Ona (author), Castellanos, Leonardo (author), Butterworth, Thomas (author), Richard, Cyril (author), Boudon, Vincent (author), Bohlin, G.A. (author)We present the first experimental application of coherent Raman spectroscopy (CRS) on the ro-vibrational ν2 mode spectrum of methane (CH4). Ultrabroadband femtosecond/picosecond (fs/ps) CRS is performed in the molecular fingerprint region from 1100 to 2000 cm-1, employing fs laser-induced filamentation as the supercontinuum generation...journal article 2023

Castellanos, Leonardo (author), Mazza, F. (author), Bohlin, G.A. (author)We present a novel diagnostic technique to probe water vapor (H<sub>2</sub>O) concentration in hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) combustion environments via the time-resolved measurement of the collisional dephasing of the pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) signal of nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>). The rotational Raman coherence of...journal article 2022

Mazza, F. (author), Buurmeijer, Hugo (author), Castellanos, Leonardo (author), Bohlin, G.A. (author)We report on the generation of coherent emission from femtosecond (fs) laser-induced filaments mediated by ultrabroadband coherent Raman scattering (CRS), and we investigate its application for high-resolution gas-phase thermometry. Broadband 35-fs, 800-nm pump pulses generate the filament through photoionization of the N<sub>2</sub>...journal article 2022

Klyukin, Dmitry (author), Mazza, F. (author), Castellanos, Leonardo (author), Bohlin, G.A. (author)Cascaded coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) signals can be efficiently generated from CARS signals when propagating collinearly with the pump/Stokes and probe beams. This effect can be seen as the CARS beam acting as the probe beam and being inelastically scattered a ‘second time’ from the Raman coherence induced along the focus of...journal article 2021

(author)Simultaneous detection of resonant and non-resonant femtosecond/picosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) signals has been developed as a viable technique to provide in-situ referencing of the impulsive excitation efficiency for temperature assessments in flames. In the framework of CARS thermometry, the occurrence of both a...journal article 2020

Castellanos, Leonardo (author), Mazza, F. (author), Klyukin, Dmitry (author), Bohlin, G.A. (author)We report spatiotemporal pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) in a one-dimensional imaging arrangement obtained with a single ultrafast regenerative amplifier system. The femtosecond pump/Stokes photon pairs, used for impulsive excitation, are delivered by an external compressor operating on a ∼35% beam split of the...journal article 2020
