Two-dimensional imaging of sprays with fluorescence, lasing, and stimulated Raman scattering

Appl Opt. 1992 Jun 20;31(18):3543-51. doi: 10.1364/AO.31.003543.

Abstract

Two-dimensional fluorescence, lasing, and stimulated Raman scattering images of a hollow-cone nozzle spray are observed. The various constituents of the spray, such as vapor, liquid ligaments, small droplets, and large droplets, are distinguished by selectively imaging different colors associated with the inelastic light-scattering processes.
