Fundamental Spectroscopy of Oxygen at High Temperatures and Pressures in Support of Quantitative Sensing for Hypersonic Air Flows

Abstract

Measurements of high-temperature and high-pressure O2 absorption spectra in the UV and near-IR are proposed in order to establish the basic science foundation necessary to address the Air Force need for improved diagnostic capabilities in hypersonic air flows. The experimental determination of these fundamental spectroscopic parameters will enable the subsequent development of high-bandwidth, quantitative, and non-invasive LAS and LIF sensor strategies for the measurement of composition, temperature, pressure, velocity, and quantum-state-specific populations over a broad range of relevant gas conditions.
