Linewidth modelling of C2H2-N-2 mixtures tested by rotational CARS measurements
The acetylene-nitrogen system is investigated in a combined theoretical and experimental effort in view of its thermometry applications. Accurate values of the rotational Raman linewidths of acetylene are of crucial importance for the computation of spectra from rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) used for temperature and concentration evaluations. Since the direct measurements
