The hybrid femtosecond/picosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (fs/ps CARS)
technique presents a promising alternative to either fs time-resolved or ps frequency …

High-repetition-rate, single-laser-shot measurements are important for the investigation of
unsteady flows where temperature and species concentrations can vary significantly. Here …

Reacting flows and plasmas are prevalent in a wide array of systems involving defense,
