Multiplex CARS measurements in supersonic H-2/air combustion

H-2 and O-2 multiplex coherent anti-stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) employing a single dye laser has been explored to simultaneously determine the temperature and concentrations of H-2 and O-2 in a hydrogen-fueled supersonic combustor. Systematic calibrations were performed through a well-characterized H-2/air premixed flat-flame burner. In particular, temperature measurement was accomplished using the intensity ratio of the H-2 S(5) and S(6) rotational lines, whereas extraction of the H-2 and O-2 concentrations was obtained from the H-2 S(6) and O-2 Q-branch, respectively. Details of the calibration procedure and data reduction are discussed. Quantification of the supersonic mixing and combustion characteristics applying the present technique has been demonstrated to be feasible. The associated detection limits as well as possible improvements are also identified.

介绍了用USED CARS技术测量对撞式甲烷/空气扩散火焰前滞止区和尾流区的温度分布剖面。在滞止区富甲烷观察到甲烷燃烧前的热解过程；尾流区温度高于滞止区温度，表明在滞止区有未完全燃烧的中间产物存在，在尾流区发现C_2及CH的光谱也证明了这一点。

同时测量氢和氧CARS谱的新方法

提出一种仅需一台染料激光器即可同时测量火焰中氢和氧的CARS谱的新方法。取带宽为120cm~(-1)，中心波长位于580.4nm的Stokes光束与532nm的泵浦光束相配合，同时测量氢扩散火焰中的氢和氧的CARS谱，用氢的S(6)和S(5)的积分强度比确定火焰中的温度并与氮的Q支CARS谱测量的温度和经过热损耗修正的热电偶测得的温度取得了相当好的一致结果。一次测出氢和氧的CARS谱，避免多次测量中参数的难以重复性，提高了以温度为参数来确定浓度的准确性。

OH在火焰中浓度分布图像及与温度关系的PLIF和CARS研究

用平面激光诱导荧光(PLIF)技术测量了平面火焰炉、狭缝火焰炉的单脉冲激光诱导OH荧光。由平面荧光图可得到氢氧基相对浓度分布和它的宽度。对扩散火焰，高温区在OH带内侧；OH带的外侧则是火焰的边界，相干反斯托克斯拉曼光谱(CARS)的测量结果对此提出了有力的佐证。湍流火焰的PLIF图则清晰地显示出火焰面的不规则性。氢氧基的PLIF图像是研究火焰结构和流场的有力工具。

Laser diode array side-pumped acousto-optic induced unidirectional operation Q-switched Nd : YAG slab ring laser

A laser-diode array (LDA) side-pumped Nd:YAG slab ring laser is described that incorporates a prism-shaped acousto-optic modulator to enforce unidirectional operation and Q-switching. When pumped by the maximum power of 50 W, Q-switched energies of 3.6 mJ and 50 ns duration, corresponding to a peak power of 72 kW, are obtained.

Smoothing the side lobes of a focused pattern by spectral dispersion in the broadband laser

Starting from the Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral, the propagation equations of a broadband laser passing through a dispersive lens and a dispersive wedge are derived. Smoothing effect on the side lobes of the focused pattern is achieved as the broadband laser passes through the lens because of the spectral dispersion of the lens. By inserting a dispersive wedge behind the lens, better smoothing effect is realized because a relative position shift between focused patterns of different frequency components is generated due to the spectral dispersion of the wedge. Smoothing effect on the side lobe is obtained even with small bandwidth of the broadband laser as the wedge is used. (c) 2006 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

High-energy LDA switched side-pumped electro-optical Q-switched Nd : YAG ceramic laser

By employing a uniformly compact side-pumping system, a high-energy electro-optical Q-switched Nd:YAG ceramic laser has been demonstrated. With 420 W quasi-cw laser-diode-array pumping at 808 ran and a 100 Hz modulating repetition rate, 50 mJ output energy at 1064 nm was obtained with 10 ns pulse width, 5 W average output power, and 5 MW peak power. Its corresponding slope efficiency was 29.8%. The laser system operated quite stably and no saturation phenomena have been observed, which means higher output energy could be expected. Laser parameters between ceramic and single-crystal Nd:YAG lasers have been compared, and pulse characteristics of Nd:YAG ceramic with different repetition rate have been investigated in detail. The still-evolving Nd:YAG ceramics are potential super excellent media for high-energy laser applications. (C) 2007 Optical Society of America.
