The difference between the Raman spectra of ice and liquid water is employed to locate the ice-water interface while elastic scattering was used for air-ice surface detection. This approach yields an error of only 2 mm for an 80-mm-thick ice sample, indicating that it is promising express noncontact thickness measurements technique in field experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-04-18T11:41:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "raman scattering", "express noncontact thickness measurements technique", "compact raman lidar system", "promising express noncontact thickness measurements", "express ice thickness measurements" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1364/OL.39.002573", "journal": "Optics Letters", "year": 2014, "month": "May", "volume": 39, "number": 9, "pages": 2573 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014OptL...39.2573P" } } }
