Redesign of a System to Detect Harmonic Spin-Flip Raman Scattering in Cadmium Sulfide.
Abstract
Since the development of the first laser, scientists have sought a tunable laser. Spin-flip Raman scattering is one of a number of tunable processes explored in recent years. Spin-Flip scattering is continuously tunable as the incident laser line undergoes a frequency shift that is directly proportional to the applied magnetic field. The purpose of this thesis was to detect and record harmonic Spin-Flip Raman scattering in Cadmium Sulfide. First and second Stokes and Anti-Stokes harmonics were observed. An Argon ion laser at 4880A wavelength was used to illuminate the crystal. The third harmonic Stokes line was also observed for the first time. The g-factor was calculated for the two CdS samples used.
