Robust and mobile multidimensional laser spectroscopy system to study hypersonic and propulsion environments

Abstract

To address these experimental challenges, this proposal requests instrumentation to construct a transportable spectroscopy system with dedicated femtosecond (fs) and picosecond (ps) laser sources, necessary optical components, and a dual-port spectrometer with detector. This system—the Mobile Laser Spectroscopy System—will be capable of conducting advanced flow measurements including 1D fs-ps CARS for determining temperature, species, and, if successful, local gas pressure. The requested equipment will be integrated into a single mobile cart similar to previous nanosecond CARS and PLIF carts designed to quickly and efficiently deploy 1D fs-ps CARS and other fs-laser-based measurements at large scale propulsion and hypersonic facilities.
