Rapid passage signals from a vibrationally excited target molecule: a pump and probe experiment with continuous wave quantum cascade lasers.
Two 5 µm continuous wave quantum cascade lasers are used to perform a counterpropagating pump and probe experiment on a low pressure sample of nitric oxide. The strong pump field excites a fundamental rovibrational transition and the weaker probe field is tuned to the corresponding rotationally reso...
