Multi-Wavelength Raman Frequency Conversion in the Mixture of CH4 and H2
A combinative technology of triple-frequency solid laser and SRS has been investigated to obtain multi-wavelength laser lines covering waveband from ultraviolet to visible. This technology could be applied in LIDAR such as measurement of air pollution. The SRS characteristics have been studied pumped by a triple-frequency Nd∶YAG laser in methane and a mixture gas of methane and hydrogen. Multiple wavelength lines were obtained simultaneously at 396 nm, 416 nm, 447 nm and 503 nm+515 nm with output power about 100 mW for each line. The characteristics of the most familiar Raman gases and a mixture gas of methane and hydrogen were also discussed. Comparing with the individual gas (methane or hydrogen), more abundant lines have been obtained in the mixture gas. Unlike strong decomposition in methane irradiated by UV laser, the decomposition was restrained by adding hydrogen in the mixture gas.
