Spectral manifestations of various mechanisms of rotational relaxation in dense media
Temkin S.I., Burshtein A.I.
The transformation of the contour of the Q branch of the CARS (coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy) spectrum in the case of strong and weak collisions is calculated. The presence of a initial-broadening stage preceding the narrowing of the spectrum is demonstrated. Methods of experimentally determining the collision forces at high densities are proposed.
