State by State emission spectra fitting for non equilibrium plasmas oh spectra of surface barrier discharge at argon water interface
arXiv: Plasma Physics, 2017Co-Authors: Jan Vorac, Petr Synek, Vojtěch Prochazka, Tomas HoderAbstract:Optical emission spectroscopy applied to non-equilibrium plasmas in molecular gases can give important information on basic plasma parameters, including the rotational, vibrational temperatures and densities of the investigated radiative States. In order to precisely understand the non-equilibrium of Rotational-Vibrational State distribution from investigated spectra without limiting presumptions, a State-by- State temperature-independent fitting procedure is the ideal approach. In this paper we present a novel software tool developed for this purpose, freely available for scientific community. The introduced tool offers a convenient way to construct Boltzmann plots even from partially overlapping spectra, in user-friendly environment. We apply the novel software to the challenging case of OH spectra in surface streamer discharges generated from the triple-line of argon/water/dielectrics interface. After the barrier discharge is characterised by ICCD and electrical measurements, the spatially and phase resolved rotational temperatures from N$_2$ (C-B) and OH(A-X) spectra are measured, analysed and compared. The precise analysis shows that OH(A) States with quantum numbers (v' = 0, 9 $\leq$ N' $\leq$ 13) are overpopulated with respect to the found two-Boltzmann distribution. We hypothesise that fast vibrational-energy transfer is responsible for this phenomenon observed here for the first time. Finally, the vibrational temperature of the plasma and the relative populations of hot and cold OH(A) States are quantified spatially and phase resolved.

broadband optical cooling of molecular rotors from room temperature to the ground State
Nature Communications, 2014Co-Authors: Chienyu Lien, Christopher M Seck, Y W Lin, Jason H V Nguyen, David Tabor, Brian OdomAbstract:Laser cooling of atoms is now routine, but cooling molecules is more difficult due to the larger number of transition frequencies involved. Here, the authors show that a broadband laser can be used to provide cooling of a molecule into its ground Rotational-Vibrational State.
