Problems

1. Study (for example, from a book by D. Greenberger, K. Hentschel, F. Weinert, eds., 2009. Compendium of quantum physics, Concepts, experiments, history and philosophy, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg) the quantum nature of matter.

2. Explain why the signal-to-noise ratio decreases as the scattering mechanism goes from ray optics to wave optics and finally to quantum optics.

3. Explain the role of each of the components of a LIDAR system

4. List and explain the role of components of a Raman scattering system.

5. Discuss simultaneous measurement of temperature and species concentration by the Raman scattering technique. Develop the required instrumentation around an engine set-up where the exhaust is to be monitored.
