Why study Saturation of CH4 and NO2?
• By studying the saturation of these molecules we will try to understand the line shapes in nanodroplets which are inhomogenous.
• By studying relaxation we can try and find the inhomogenous relaxation rates
• Try and understand the relationship between the molecules and a superfluid

Results II
• Knowing that the focal point diameter is 27 µm and the speed of the beam is 450 m/s then we can determine that the NO2 spends 60ns in each crossing with the beam
• We believe that by comparing our T1 time for methane of 5 ns to a previous result by Momose’ group for the v4 R(0) line of methane which results in a 3.7 ns T2 time that we are relaxing to the 2v4 and then to the ground state

Conclusions
• We were able to show saturation with both CH4 and NO2
• With both species a homogenous and inhomogenous fit worked well for signal
• Only homogenous line shape fit the widths correctly

Future Work
• This technique could be applied to other similar molecules with similar strong lines such as CH3Cl and Propyne
• Also try to adjust the number of passes while keeping the amount of scattered light low– This could be done by putting the Perry cell on a
rotation stage– Also determine saturation by number of passes
instead of using polarizer to adjust power
