We investigated the properties of the IR signal generated through coherent Raman scattering involving the Q(1) transition (v = 0, J = 1 ! v = 1, J = 1) of a hydrogen molecule in the presence of the quasi-static electric field of the sliding discharge propagating along a ferrite surface in a hydrogen atmosphere. The results of time-resolved polarization-sensitive measurements performed on this signal were employed to determine the parameters of the electric field in the sliding discharge. These measurements showed, in particular, that the propagation of the discharge leader along the ferrite surface is accompanied by the rotation of the vector of the quasi-static electric field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
