IR Scanning Camera Data for USN-UTRC Acrylic Tests at 3.8 micron Radiation.

Abstract

Beam diagnostic records are presented for a series of tests using a 3.8 micrometer cw chemical laser to burn acrylic test samples exposed to a range of beam intensities and airflows. The data recording and reduction effort by the Ballistic Research Laboratory is a cooperative effort in conjunction with the Naval Research Laboratory to determine the feasibility of using acrylic burn patterns to augment beam diagnostic data recorded by an infrared scanning camera system.
