Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring temperature in an environment by creating a first beam having an energy of about 50 mJ/pulse, and a pulse duration of about 100 ps. A second beam is also created, having an energy of about 2.3 mJ/pulse, and a pulse duration of about 58 ps. The first beam and the second beam are directed into a probe region, thereby expressing an optical output. Properties of the optical output are measured at a sampling rate of at least about 100 kHz, and temperature measurements are derived from the measured properties of the optical output. Such systems and methods can be used to measure temperature in environments exhibiting highly turbulent and transient flow dynamics.

Abstract: A low-repetition-rate (10-Hz), picosecond (ps) optical parametric generator (OPG) system produces higher energy output levels in a more robust and reliable system than previously available. A picosecond OPG stage is seeded at an idler wavelength with a high-power diode laser and its output at ˜566 nm is amplified in a pulsed dye amplifier (PDA) stage having two dye cells, resulting in signal enhancement by more than three orders of magnitude. The nearly transform-limited beam at ˜566 nm has a pulse width of ˜170 ps with an overall output of ˜2.3 mJ/pulse. A spatial filter between the OPG and PDA stages and a pinhole between the two dye cells improve high output beam quality and enhances coarse and fine wavelength tuning capability.

Abstract: A laser comprises a master oscillator, a modulator, a controller, and an amplifier. The master oscillator has an optical cavity and provides a signal, which may be continuous or pulsed. The modulator resides outside of the optical cavity, receives the signal, and modulates the signal to create a new train of pulses, where the pulses of the train of pulses include a pulse width. The controller, coupled to the modulator, instructs the modulator to control the pulse width of the pulses of the pulse train. The amplifier, optically coupled to the master oscillator, amplifies the train of pulses provided by the modulator.

Temperature and relative concentrations of the target species with respect to N2 are extracted by fitting the measured CARS spectrum in each wavelength region.

Abstract: A nitric oxide sensor and method is disclosed. The sensor is based on sum-frequency mixing of a tunable, 395-nm external cavity diode laser with a 532-nm diode-pumped intracavity-frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser in a beta-barium-borate crystal. The output from the BBO crystal is ultraviolet radiation at 227 nm and is split using a 50—50 beam splitter. Half of the radiation is directed into a reference photomultiplier tube, and the other half of the UV radiation is directed through the medium of interest and then directed into a signal photomultiplier tube. The output from the photomultiplier tubes is compared and the difference utilized to indicate the level of nitric oxide by absorption-based spectrosocpic techniques.
