Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A novel approach for real-time detection of trace Raman-active molecules, called cavity-enhanced impulsive Raman spectroscopy, was developed. A mode-locked laser at a repetition rate of 1 GHz was successfully coupled with a newly-designed portable ring-type optical cavity. The coupling condition was stabilized by a Hansch-Couillaud system specifically constructed for our optical cavity. We found the output beam from the hydrogen-filled optical cavity had a spectrum including a signal corresponding to rotational Raman scattering from ortho-hydrogen, which implies the excitation of molecular coherence of hydrogen. A continuous-wave semiconductor laser to probe the molecular coherence was prepared and its frequency was stabilized to a frequency of a hyperfine structure for Cs atom.
