Abstract:
This paper presents light scattering spectra from the liquid-vapor interface of water and ethanol. Both quasi-elastic (Rayleigh) scattering and inelastic (Brillouin) scattering from fluctuations at the interface are observed. The spectra were obtained using a novel Fourier transform heterodyne technique that allows one to resolve the full Rayleigh-Brillouin triplet. Capillary waves travelling in opposite directions can therefore be separated, making the present technique suitable for studying nonequilibrium effects in interfaces.See also: Femtosecond laser microfabrication
