Optical trapping is employed to levitate single particles within a custom-designed elliptical reflector for CIDS measurements. The advantage of optical levitation in light-scattering measurements is that single particles can be suspended in air with sufficient working distance to prevent interference from the suspending apparatus. To measure the phase function, the reflector is used to collect the angle-dependent scattering signals. We demonstrated that we can obtain two-dimensional angular optical scattering (TAOS) patterns that cover a wide angular range from single levitated particles.

The temporal evolution of the intensity of Kr atomic spectral lines at 760.15 nm, 811.29 nm, and 431.96 nm was used to elucidate the production mechanisms of metastable Kr atoms. These mechanisms primarily involve two processes: the “excitation + radiation” process, dominated by multiphoton excitation and initial plasma-induced electron impact excitation, and the “ion-electron recombination” process, governed by avalanche ionization. The decay time constants of Kr atomic spectral lines, corresponding to the “excitation + radiation” and “ion-electron recombination” processes respectively, were obtained experimentally under both strong and weak ionization conditions. The experiments revealed delay in preparations of metastable Kr atoms between these two processes. To reduce the loss of metastable Kr atoms and effectively utilize their peak concentration, we drew inspiration from metastable rare gas lasers and proposed the “cycling” idea to keep metastable Kr atoms produced by these two processes as synchronized as possible. We used 811.29 nm laser to excite metastable Kr atoms generated rapidly during the “excitation + radiation” stage to the 5p[5/2]<sub>3</sub> level. The Kr atoms returned to the 5s[3/2]<sub>2</sub> level through spontaneous radiation, merging with metastable Kr atoms that were slowly produced during the “ion-electron recombination” stage. We hope that the “cycling” idea can shorten the delay in preparations of metastable Kr atoms from both processes and enhance the peak concentration of metastable Kr atoms. However, the experimental results didn't meet expectations, as we observed a decrease in the 811.29 nm fluorescence after laser excitation, attributed to the accumulation of 5p[5/2]<sub>3</sub> level Kr atoms. These atoms undergo energy pooling to populate the 4d’[3/2]<sub>1</sub> and 5d[7/2]<sub>3</sub> levels, followed by absorption of 811.29 nm laser energy leading to photoionization.

The motivation of the proposed method is to facilitate high-temperature spectroscopic studies in the long-wavelength mid-IR region, and to offer an alternative to highly engineered optical cells. The method is based on virtual segmentation of the non-uniform temperature field within an optical cell into bins, each having a sufficiently uniform temperature. By collecting a set of absorbance measurements corresponding to unique temperature profiles and expressing the temperature dependence of the absorption cross-section in terms of a model with limited number of unknowns, a closed-form system of equations is obtained which can be solved to evaluate absorption cross-sections. It is shown, through a set of simulated validation cases, that modeling the temperature dependence in terms of a third order polynomial results in accurate reconstruction of the cross-section spectra for a wide range of cases. Piece-wise polynomials and an alternative nonlinear model are proposed for improved accuracy and to model potentially complex temperature dependencies of the absorption cross-sections.
