Optimization of Off-Axis ICOS and Applications to Flow Tube Kinetics
Abstract
In this AFOSR granting period, Los Gatos Research explored the capabilities of Off-Axis Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy (Off-Axis ICOS) with an especial emphasis towards flow-tube kinetics studies. Specifically, search was performed to ascertain the application of Off-Axis ICOS to spatial imaging, time-dependant phenomenon, and through-plasma spectroscopy. Achievements included developing a theoretical framework to simulate spot pattern images in the presence of spatially-inhomogeneous cavity loss, simulating the time-dependent cavity transmission for both impulse function and rapidly-modulating absorption losses, and measuring a variety of energetic species within a radio frequency inductively coupled plasma (RF-ICP).
