    Abstract:
    The forward emission spectra were experimentally measured for ionized nitrogen molecules by an 800 nm pump laser and a delayed seed laser. It was found that emission lines around both 428 and 391 nm are greatly enhanced upon use of a 391 or 428 nm seed laser. The emission lines around 391 and 428 nm can be assigned to the rotational transitions of N2+ [B2Σu+(v' = 0) → X2Σg+(v = 0)] and N2+ [B2Σu+(v' = 0) → X2Σg+(v = 1)], respectively. They originate from seed-induced superfluorescence and resonant stimulated Raman scattering. The genetic algorithm was utilized to simulate the experimental observations and determine the relative population of B2Σu+(v' = 0), X2Σg+(v = 1), and X2Σg+(v = 0). The result verifies that vibrational population inversion is achieved between B2Σu+(v' = 0) and X2Σg+(v = 0) by the 800 nm pump laser. Our finding provides new insights into controlling the coherent emission of ionized nitrogen molecules, which has promising application in filamentation-based remote atmospheric sensing.
