11. Electronic-Resonance-Enhanced Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (ERE CARS) • ERE CARS was explored as a combustion diagnostic technique by Taran, Attal-Tretout and co-workers from the late 1970s to early 1990s • Technique was complicated both experimentally and theoretically because only two laser frequencies were used, both electronically resonant • Our ERE CARS approach is a variant on the dual-pump CARS technique, demonstrated on NO in gas cell to gain understanding of the physics
