Lasing of ${{\rm N}_2^+}$ induced by filamentation in air as a probe for femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering

Abstract

We investigated ultrashort pulse filamentation and lasing action of ${{N}}_2^ +$ for pump-probe experiments in gases. Using femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering, the white-light supercontinuum generated in the filament was used to excite ro-vibrational Raman transitions in air, ${{\rm{CO}}_2}$ and ${{\rm{CH}}_4}$. We show that the lasing pulse acts as a probe for the excited levels by detecting the corresponding anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy signals. This feature may be applied to remote sensing applications, as the temporal and spatial alignment of the probe beam and the filament is intrinsically provided.
