CARS Spectra from a 7.62-mm Gun

Abstract

Colinear Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) spectra were obtained from a 7.62-mm MANN gun system. These preliminary experiments, designed to demonstrate the technical feasibility of CARS thermometry for this application, have been successful within the limited scope of the completed experiments. The numerous technical problems encountered are addressed and details of the experimental apparatus are documented. The successful completion of these preliminary experiments clearly demonstrates that CARS thermometry can be a useful analytical technique for gun and change designers provided that certain limitations and the level of experimental complexity are acknowledged.
