Feasibility of remote diagnostics of the atmosphere by Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy

The method of Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy was used to record spectra of the Q band and a panoramic spectrum including O, Q, and S bands of atmospheric nitrogen with a resolution of 0.1 cm ^–1 at 293 K under normal pressure. Ways of utilizing this method for remote diagnostics of the atmosphere are considered.
