ABSTRACT
In the generally turbulent flows arising in flow lasers, the combination of the laser Raman scattering and the laser Doppler velocimetry techniques show considerable promise for diagnostic studies. Important advances are occurring both in scattering (e.g., resonant RS and coherent anti-Stokes RS) and image forming (e.g., Ramanography) techniques. The application of those techniques will depend ultimately on the availability of high-power, high-pulse-rate lasers.
