The stimulated emission pumping (SEP) process has been detected by means of a newly developed zero-background scheme based upon the Doppler-free technique of degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) spectroscopy. Rotationally resolved SEP-DFWM spectra recorded for the (02000) vibrational level of CS2 X̃ 1∑+g exhibit signal-to-noise ratios approaching 1000:1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
