摘要

Remote or standoff detection of greenhouse gases

air pollutants

and biological agents with innovative ultrafast laser technology attracts growing interests in recent years. Hybrid femtosecond/picosecond coherent Raman spectroscopy is considered as one of the most versatile techniques due to its great advantages in terms of detection sensitivity and chemical specificity. However

the simultaneous requirement for the femtosecond pump and the picosecond probe increases the complexity of optical system. Herein

we demonstrate that air lasing naturally created inside a filament can serve as an ideal light source to probe Raman coherence excited by the femtosecond pump

producing coherent Raman signal with molecular vibrational signatures. The combination of pulse self-compression effect and air lasing action during filamentation improves Raman excitation efficiency and greatly simplifies the experimental setup. The air-lasing-assisted Raman spectroscopy was applied to quantitatively detect greenhouse gases mixed in air

and it was found that the minimum detectable concentrations of CO2 and SF6 can reach 0.1% and 0.03%

respectively. The ingenious designs

especially the optimization of pump-seed delay and the choice of perpendicular polarization

ensure a high detection sensitivity and signal stability. Moreover

it is demonstrated that this method can be used for simultaneously measuring CO2 and SF6 gases and distinguishing 12CO2 and 13CO2. The developed scheme provides a new route for high-sensitivity standoff detection and combustion diagnosis.
