Research Equipment Purchased Under Grant AFOSR-86-0257

Abstract

Through AFOSR, as part of the University Research Instrumentation Program, the Department Mechanical and Industrial Engineering of the University of Illinois was awarded the funds to purchase equipment in support of research dealing with high temperature thermodynamics, plasma formation, and laser-gas interaction. AFOSR has been supporting research under a separate grant, a program dealing with Beamed Energy (Laser) Rocket Propulsion. This report summarizes research instrumentation purchased on this grant program. Information Digital Imaging and Laser Induced Fluorescence is given. The equipment includes: Excimer Laser; Dye Laser; Imaging Optics and support equipment. The report also summarizes research capabilities now possible in non-equilibrium laser-sustained plasmas.
