Cavity ring-down is becoming a widely used technique in gas phase spectroscopy. It holds promise for further important extensions, which will lead to even more frequent use. However, we have found widespread confusion the literature about nature of coherence effects, especially when optical cavity constituting cell excited with short length laser source.

Abstract Accurate parameters of molecular hot-band transitions, i.e., those starting from vibrationally excited levels, are needed to accurately model high-temperature spectra in astrophysics and combustion, yet laboratory measured at high temperatures often unresolved difficult assign. Optical-optical double-resonance (OODR) spectroscopy allows the measurement assignment individual transitions selectively pumped energy levels without need heat sample. However, previous demonstrations lacked...

Nanometer-sized helium droplets, each containing about 10(4) atoms, were used as an inert substrate on which to form previously unobserved, spin-3/2 (quartet state) alkali trimers. Dispersed fluorescence measurements reveal that, upon electronic excitation, the quartet trimers undergo intersystem crossing doublet manifold, followed by dissociation of trimer into atom and a covalently bound singlet dimer. As shown this work, aggregates spin-polarized metals represent ideal species for optical...

Recent observations have detected trace amounts of CH4 heterogeneously distributed in the martian atmosphere, which indicated a subsurface flux ~2 × 105 to 2 109 cm–2 s–1. Four different origins for this were considered: (1) volcanogenic; (2) sublimation hydrate- rich ice; (3) diffusive transport through hydrate-saturated cryosphere; and (4) microbial generation above cryosphere. A model crust He, H2, was developed based upon measurements deep fracture water samples from South Africa. This...
