Optimization, Characterization, and Implementation of a CW Dye Laser System
Abstract
The overall project is to assess the applicability of intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy for in situ, non-instrusive monitoring of the desorption of barium containing species from operating thermionic cathodes. The goal was the implementation, characterization and optimization of a CW dye laser system with regard to its performance in an intracavity laser absorption apparatus. The purpose of the final report is to document the course of events associated with the task in the context of the overall mission of cathode evaluation and advanced approaches for predicting and improving cathode performance and lifetime. Four observations demonstrate the success of the project: 1) many unassigned absorption features due to the atmosphere (most likely due to molecular oxygen) were discovered in the vicinity of the barium absorption line.
