Abstract

The single pulse photoacoustic technique for measuring infrared multiphoton absorption by polyatomic molecules is described in detail for the first time. The interaction volume of interest is the focal region (Fig. 1) in which the laser intensity can be very high to promote multiphoton processes. Compared to classical transmission technique with a parallel laser beam of very high intensity (practically very difficult), the present technique is simple but powerful. The microphone detects the energy released from the focal volume in front of it. As long as the microphone is closer to the focal volume than it is to the entrance and exit windows, the signal from the focal region will arrive at the microphone earlier than any other acoustic signal created in the cell. Fig. 2a shows two typical oscilloscope traces at two different time scales of the microphone signal by focusing a 10.6 µ TEA-CO2 laser pulse (~ 1 mJ/cm2) into 3 torr (1 torr = 0.133 kPa) SF6 through a 25.4 cm focal length lens. The focal region in front of the 1.27 cm diameter microphone can be approximated as a cylinder of uniform intensity and length ℓm because of the long focal length. The peak value of the first pulse is proportional to the energy absorbed by the molecules in the focal volume. Three questions are asked. (1) Why is the first peak proportional to the energy absorbed? (2) What are the other oscillations? (3) What is the pressure range for easy application of the technique? The answers are given below.
利用光声技术测量多原子分子对红外多光子的吸收
本文首次详细介绍了用单脉冲光声技术测量多原子分子对红外多光子的吸收。感兴趣的相互作用体积是焦点区域(图1),其中激光强度可以非常高,以促进多光子过程。与传统的高强度平行激光束传输技术(实际上非常困难)相比,本技术简单但功能强大。麦克风探测到它前面的焦点音量释放的能量。只要麦克风离焦点体积比离入口和出口窗口更近,来自焦点区域的信号将比单元中产生的任何其他声信号更早到达麦克风。图2a显示了通过25.4 cm焦距透镜将10.6µTEA-CO2激光脉冲(~ 1 mJ/cm2)聚焦到3 torr (1 torr = 0.133 kPa)的SF6中的传声器信号在两个不同时间尺度下的两条典型示波器走线。直径1.27 cm的传声器前的焦点区域,由于其焦距较长,可以近似为一个强度均匀且长度为1 m的圆柱体。第一个脉冲的峰值与焦点体积中分子吸收的能量成正比。他们问了三个问题。(1)为什么第一个峰与吸收的能量成正比?(2)其他的振荡是什么?(3)什么压力范围便于应用该技术?答案如下。
