Abstract
Mixtures of methane, hydrogen, and argon
(CH4:H2:Ar) were studied as UV Raman
shifters for ozone differential absorption lidar application. They
have higher photochemical stability than pure CH4 and the
capability to produce, with high enough efficiency, either first
CH4 Stokes or, simultaneously, CH4 and
H2 first Stokes with equal energies. These mixtures can
be used as an inexpensive replacement for D2 or a more
stable substitute for pure CH4 in single-pass high-power
Raman shifters.
