Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy Verification Analysis For Use In The Combustion Optimization And Analysis Laser Laboratory, Christina R. Serianne
Theses and Dissertations
The AFIT Combustion Optimization and Analysis Laser (COAL) laboratory has state-of-the-art laser diagnostic capability for combustion process. The research for this thesis served to enhance the COAL lab's capability. Currently, there are no known commercially available tunable diode lasers that produce Ultra-Violet radiation required for this analysis. Sum-frequency generation at 313.5 nm was utilized for high speed OH absorption and temperature measurements at a rate of 2kHz. The Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy system was validated by comparison with theoretical and well characterized experimental data by operating the system over a wide range of conditions for an H2 laminar flame …
