Observation of long-lived collision-induced coherences and ground-state-spin gratings in a flame

Rick P. Trebino, Larry A. Rahn

We observe collision‐induced four‐wave‐mixing resonances—Zeeman and hyperfine coherences and ground‐state‐spin gratings—in a sodium‐seeded hydrogen‐air flame. We see several new characteristics of collision‐induced phenomena at high intensity.

Picosecond four-wave mixing experiments have been used to study collisions in a Na-seeded, premixed, methane-air flame. Population gratings are used to measure Na excited-state quenching collision rates, while polarization gratings are used to measure Na ground-state hyperfine coherence randomizing collision rates and overall Na diffusion rates, even though these processes are slower than the excited-state quenching rate.
