Shock-tube measurements of excited oxygen atoms using cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy
APPLIED OPTICS
2015; 54 (29): 8766-8775
Abstract
We report the use of cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) using two distributed feedback diode lasers near 777.2 and 844.6 nm for sensitive, time-resolved, in situ measurements of excited-state populations of atomic oxygen in a shock tube. Here, a 1% O2/Ar mixture was shock-heated to 5400-8000 K behind reflected shock waves. The combined use of a low-finesse cavity, fast wavelength scanning of the lasers, and an off-axis alignment enabled measurements with 10 μs time response and low cavity noise. The CEAS absorption gain factors of 104 and 142 for the P35←S520 (777.2 nm) and P0,1,23←S310 (844.6 nm) atomic oxygen transitions, respectively, significantly improved the detection sensitivity over conventional single-pass measurements. This work demonstrates the potential of using CEAS to improve shock-tube studies of nonequilibrium electronic-excitation processes at high temperatures.

Shock-Tube Measurement of Acetone Dissociation Using Cavity-Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy of CO.
journal of physical chemistry. A
2015; 119 (28): 7257-7262
Abstract
A direct measurement for the rate constant of the acetone dissociation reaction (CH3COCH3 = CH3CO + CH3) was conducted behind reflected shock wave, utilizing a sub-ppm sensitivity CO diagnostic achieved by cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS). The current experiment eliminated the influence from secondary reactions and temperature change by investigating the clean pyrolysis of <20 ppm acetone in argon. For the first time, the acetone dissociation rate constant (k1) was directly measured over 5.5 orders of magnitude with a high degree of accuracy: k1 (1004-1494 K, 1.6 atm) = 4.39 × 10(55) T(-11.394) exp(-52 140K/T) ± 24% s(-1). This result was seen to agree with most previous studies and has bridged the gap between their temperature and pressure conditions. The current work also served as an example demonstration of the potential of using the CEAS technique in shock-tube kinetics studies.

A second-generation constrained reaction volume shock tube
REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS
2014; 85 (5)
Abstract
We have developed a shock tube that features a sliding gate valve in order to mechanically constrain the reactive test gas mixture to an area close to the shock tube endwall, separating it from a specially formulated non-reactive buffer gas mixture. This second-generation Constrained Reaction Volume (CRV) strategy enables near-constant-pressure shock tube test conditions for reactive experiments behind reflected shocks, thereby enabling improved modeling of the reactive flow field. Here we provide details of the design and operation of the new shock tube. In addition, we detail special buffer gas tailoring procedures, analyze the buffer/test gas interactions that occur on gate valve opening, and outline the size range of fuels that can be studied using the CRV technique in this facility. Finally, we present example low-temperature ignition delay time data to illustrate the CRV shock tube's performance.

Sensitive and rapid laser diagnostic for shock tube kinetics studies using cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy
OPTICS EXPRESS
2014; 22 (8): 9291-9300
Abstract
We report the first application of cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) using a coherent light source for sensitive and rapid gaseous species time-history measurements in a shock tube. Off-axis alignment and fast scanning of the laser wavelength were used to minimize coupling noise in a low-finesse cavity. An absorption gain factor of 83 with a measurement time resolution of 20 µs was demonstrated for C2H2 detection using a near-infrared transition near 1537 nm, corresponding to a noise-equivalent detection limit of 20 ppm at 296 K and 76 ppm at 906 K at 50 kHz. This substantial gain in signal, relative to conventional single-pass absorption, will enable ultra-sensitive species detection in shock tube kinetics studies, particularly useful for measurements of minor species and for studies of dilute reactive systems.

Quantum cascade laser absorption sensor for carbon monoxide in high-pressure gases using wavelength modulation spectroscopy
APPLIED OPTICS
2014; 53 (9): 1938-1946
Abstract
A tunable quantum cascade laser sensor, based on wavelength modulation absorption spectroscopy near 4.8 μm, was developed to measure CO concentration in harsh, high-pressure combustion gases. The sensor employs a normalized second harmonic detection technique (WMS-2f/1f) at a modulation frequency of 50 kHz. Wavelength selection at 2059.91 cm-1 targets the P(20) transition within the fundamental vibrational band of CO, chosen for absorption strength and relative isolation from infrared water and carbon dioxide absorption. The CO spectral model is defined by the Voigt line-shape function, and key line-strength and line-broadening spectroscopic parameters were taken from the literature or measured. Sensitivity analysis identified the CO-N2 collisional broadening coefficient as most critical for uncertainty mitigation in hydrocarbon/air combustion exhaust measurements, and this parameter was experimentally derived over a range of combustion temperatures (1100-2600 K) produced in a shock tube. Accuracy of the wavelength-modulation-spectroscopy-based sensor, using the refined spectral model, was validated at pressures greater than 40 atm in nonreactive shock-heated gas mixtures. The laser was then free-space coupled to an indium-fluoride single-mode fiber for remote light delivery. The fiber-coupled sensor was demonstrated on an ethylene/air pulse detonation combustor, providing time-resolved (∼20 kHz), in situ measurements of CO concentration in a harsh flow field.

Experimental and Modeling Study of the Thermal Decomposition of C3-C5 Ethyl Esters Behind Reflected Shock Waves
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2014; 118 (10): 1785-1798
Abstract
The thermal decomposition of three ethyl esters, ethyl formate (C3H6O2), ethyl acetate (C4H8O2), and ethyl propanoate (C5H10O2), was studied behind reflected shock waves using laser absorption to measure concentration time-histories of H2O, CO2, and CO. Experimental conditions covered temperatures of 1301-1636 K, pressures of 1.48-1.72 atm, and reactant concentrations of 2000 ppm in argon. Recently developed mid-infrared laser diagnostics for H2O (2.5 μm), CO2 (4.3 μm), and CO (4.6 μm) provide orders-of-magnitude greater detectivity compared to previous near-infrared absorption sensors. The experimental results have highlighted significant differences among these three ethyl esters: negligible CO2 production during ethyl formate pyrolysis, quite slow CO formation rate during ethyl acetate pyrolysis, and nearly equal formation rate of H2O, CO2, and CO during ethyl propanoate pyrolysis. Detailed kinetic modeling was performed to understand the destruction pathways of these three ethyl esters with different alkyl chain lengths. Rate of production and sensitivity analyses were also carried out to interpret the experimental results and to identify the key reactions affecting experimental results.

Shock tube measurements of the rate constant for the reaction ethanol + OH.
journal of physical chemistry. A
2014; 118 (5): 822-828
Abstract
The overall rate constant for the reaction ethanol + OH → products was determined experimentally from 900 to 1270 K behind reflected shock waves. Ethan(18)ol was utilized for these measurements in order to avoid the recycling of OH radicals following H-atom abstraction at the β-site of ethanol. Similar experiments were also performed with unlabeled ethan(16)ol in order to infer the rate constant that excludes reactivity at the β-site. The two data sets were used to directly infer the branching ratio for the reaction at the β-site. Experimental data in the current study and in previous low-temperature studies for the overall rate constant are best fit by the expression koverall = 5.07 × 10(5) T[K](2.31) exp(608/T[K]) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1), valid from 300 to 1300 K. Measurements indicate that the branching ratio of the β-site is between 20 and 25% at the conditions studied. Pseudo-first-order reaction conditions were generated using tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as a fast source of (16)OH with ethanol in excess. (16)OH mole fraction time-histories were measured using narrow-line width laser absorption near 307 nm. Measurements were performed at the linecenter of the R22(5.5) transition in the A-X(0,0) band of (16)OH that does not overlap with any absorption features of (18)OH, thus producing a measurement of the (16)OH mole fraction that is insensitive to the presence of (18)OH.

Fitting of calibration-free scanned-wavelength-modulation spectroscopy spectra for determination of gas properties and absorption lineshapes
APPLIED OPTICS
2014; 53 (3): 356-367
Abstract
The development and initial demonstration of a scanned-wavelength, first-harmonic-normalized, wavelength-modulation spectroscopy with nf detection (scanned-WMS-nf/1f) strategy for calibration-free measurements of gas conditions are presented. In this technique, the nominal wavelength of a modulated tunable diode laser (TDL) is scanned over an absorption transition to measure the corresponding scanned-WMS-nf/1f spectrum. Gas conditions are then inferred from least-squares fitting the simulated scanned-WMS-nf/1f spectrum to the measured scanned-WMS-nf/1f spectrum, in a manner that is analogous to widely used scanned-wavelength direct-absorption techniques. This scanned-WMS-nf/1f technique does not require prior knowledge of the transition linewidth for determination of gas properties. Furthermore, this technique can be used with any higher harmonic (i.e., n>1), modulation depth, and optical depth. Selection of the laser modulation index to maximize both signal strength and sensitivity to spectroscopic parameters (i.e., gas conditions), while mitigating distortion, is described. Last, this technique is demonstrated with two-color measurements in a well-characterized supersonic flow within the Stanford Expansion Tube. In this demonstration, two frequency-multiplexed telecommunication-grade TDLs near 1.4 μm were scanned at 12.5 kHz (i.e., measurement repetition rate of 25 kHz) and modulated at 637.5 and 825 kHz to determine the gas temperature, pressure, H2O mole fraction, velocity, and absorption transition lineshape. Measurements are shown to agree within uncertainty (1%-5%) of expected values.

Two-color absorption spectroscopy strategy for measuring the column density and path average temperature of the absorbing species in nonuniform gases
APPLIED OPTICS
2013; 52 (33): 7950-7962
Abstract
A two-color absorption spectroscopy strategy has been developed for measuring the column density and density-weighted path-average temperature of the absorbing species in nonuniform gases. This strategy uses two transitions with strengths that scale nearly linearly with temperature. In addition, measured lineshapes are used to accurately model absorbance spectra. As a result, the column density and density-weighted path-average temperature of the absorbing species can be inferred from a comparison of signals measured across a nonuniform line of sight (LOS) with simulated signals calculated using a uniform LOS. This strategy is demonstrated with simulations of water-vapor absorption across a nonuniform LOS with temperature and composition gradients comparable to those in hydrogen-air diffusion flames. In this demonstration, both the column density and density-weighted path-average temperature of water vapor are recovered to within 0.5%.

Shock Tube Measurements of the tert-Butanol plus OH Reaction Rate and the tert-C4H8OH Radical beta-Scission Branching Ratio Using Isotopic Labeling
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2013; 117 (23): 4777-4784
Abstract
The overall rate constant for the reaction tert-butanol + OH → products was determined experimentally behind reflected shock waves by using (18)O-substituted tert-butanol (tert-butan(18)ol) and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as a fast source of (16)OH. The data were acquired from 900 to 1200 K near 1.1 atm and are best fit by the Arrhenius expression 1.24 × 10(-10) exp(-2501/T [K]) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). The products of the title reaction include the tert-C4H8OH radical that is known to have two major β-scission decomposition channels, one of which produces OH radicals. Experiments with the isotopically labeled tert-butan(18)ol also lead to an experimental determination of the branching ratio for the β-scission pathways of the tert-C4H8OH radical by comparing the measured pseudo-first-order decay rate of (16)OH in the presence of excess tert-butan(16)ol with the respective decay rate of (16)OH in the presence of excess tert-butan(18)ol. The two decay rates of (16)OH as a result of reactions with the two forms of tert-butanol differ by approximately a factor of 5 due to the absence of (16)OH-producing pathways in experiments with tert-butan(18)ol. This indicates that 80% of the (16)OH molecules that react with tert-butan(16)ol will reproduce another (16)OH molecule through β-scission of the resulting tert-C4H8(16)OH radical. (16)OH mole fraction time histories were measured using narrow-line-width laser absorption near 307 nm. Measurements were performed at the line center of the R22(5.5) transition in the A-X(0,0) band of (16)OH, a transition that does not overlap with any absorption features of (18)OH, hence yielding a measurement of (16)OH mole fraction that is insensitive to any production of (18)OH.

High-Temperature Measurements of the Reactions of OH with Small Methyl Esters: Methyl Formate, Methyl Acetate, Methyl Propanoate, and Methyl Butanoate
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2012; 116 (50): 12229-12241
Abstract
The overall rate constants for the reactions of hydroxyl radicals (OH) with four small methyl esters, namely methyl formate (CH(3)OCHO), methyl acetate (CH(3)OC(O)CH(3)), methyl propanoate (CH(3)OC(O)C(2)H(5)), and methyl butanoate (CH(3)OC(O)C(3)H(7)), were investigated behind reflected shock waves using UV laser absorption of OH radicals near 306.69 nm. Test gas mixtures of individual methyl esters and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), a fast source of OH at elevated temperatures, diluted in argon were shock-heated to temperatures spanning from 876 to 1371 K at pressures near 1.5 atm. The overall rate constants were determined by matching the measured OH time-histories with the computed profiles from the comprehensive chemical kinetic mechanisms of Dooley et al. (2010) and Dooley et al. (2008), which were originally developed for the oxidation of methyl formate and methyl butanoate, respectively. These measured values can be expressed in Arrhenius form as k(CH(3)OCHO+OH) = 2.56 × 10(13) exp(-2026/T) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1), k(CH(3)OC(O)CH(3)+OH) = 3.59 × 10(13) exp(-2438/T) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1), k(CH(3)OC(O)C(2)H(5)+OH) = 6.65 × 10(13) exp(-2539/T) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1), and k(CH(3)OC(O)C(3)H(7)+OH) = 1.13 × 10(14) exp(-2515/T) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1) over the temperature ranges studied. Detailed error analyses were performed to estimate the overall uncertainties of these reactions, and the estimated (2?) uncertainties were found to be ±29% at 913 K and ±18% at 1289 K for k(CH(3)OCHO+OH), ± 29% at 930 K and ±17% at 1299 K for k(CH(3)OC(O)CH(3)+OH), ± 25% at 909 K and ±17% at 1341 K for k(CH(3)OC(O)C2H(5)+OH), and ±24% at 925 K and ±16% at 1320 K for k(CH(3)OC(O)C(3)H(7)+OH). We believe these are the first direct high-temperature rate constant measurements for the reactions of OH with these small methyl esters. These measured rate constants were also compared with the estimated values employed in different comprehensive kinetic mechanisms. Additionally, the structure-activity relationship from Kwok and Atkinson (1995) was used to estimate these four rate constants, and the estimations from this group-additivity model are in good agreement with the measurements (within ~25%) at the present experimental conditions.

The overall rate constant for the reaction of OH with sec-butanol [CH(3)CH(OH)CH(2)CH(3)] was determined from measurements of the near-first-order OH decay in shock-heated mixtures of tert-butylhydroperoxide (as a fast source of OH) with sec-butanol in excess. Three kinetic mechanisms from the literature describing sec-butanol combustion were used to examine the sensitivity of the rate constant determination to secondary kinetics. The overall rate constant determined can be described by the Arrhenius expression 6.97 × 10(-11) exp(-1550/T[K]) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), valid over the temperature range of 888-1178 K. Uncertainty bounds of ±30% were found to adequately account for the uncertainty in secondary kinetics. To our knowledge, the current data represent the first efforts toward an experimentally determined rate constant for the overall reaction of OH with sec-butanol at combustion-relevant temperatures. A rate constant predicted using a structure-activity relationship from the literature was compared to the current data and previous rate constant measurements for the title reaction at atmospheric-relevant temperatures. The structure-activity relationship was found to be unable to correctly predict the measured rate constant at all temperatures where experimental data exist. We found that the three-parameter fit of 4.95 × 10(-20)T(2.66) exp(+1123/T[K]) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) better describes the overall rate constant for the reaction of OH with sec-butanol from 263 to 1178 K.

High-Temperature Measurements of the Reactions of OH with a Series of Ketones: Acetone, 2-Butanone, 3-Pentanone, and 2-Pentanone
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2012; 116 (23): 5549-5559
Abstract
The overall rate constants for the reactions of hydroxyl radicals (OH) with a series of ketones, namely, acetone (CH(3)COCH(3)), 2-butanone (C(2)H(5)COCH(3)), 3-pentanone (C(2)H(5)COC(2)H(5)), and 2-pentanone (C(3)H(7)COCH(3)), were studied behind reflected shock waves over the temperature range of 870-1360 K at pressures of 1-2 atm. OH radicals were produced by rapid thermal decomposition of the OH precursor tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and were monitored by the narrow line width ring dye laser absorption of the well-characterized R(1)(5) line in the OH A-X (0, 0) band near 306.69 nm. The overall rate constants were inferred by comparing the measured OH time histories with the simulated profiles from the detailed mechanisms of Pichon et al. (2009) and Serinyel et al. (2010). These measured values can be expressed in Arrhenius form as k(CH3COCH3+OH) = 3.30 × 10(13) exp(-2437/T) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1), k(C2H5COCH3+OH )= 6.35 × 10(13) exp(-2270/T) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1), k(C2H5COC2H5+OH) = 9.29 × 10(13) exp(-2361/T) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1), and k(C3H7COCH3+OH) = 7.06 × 10(13) exp(-2020/T) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1). The measured rate constant for the acetone + OH reaction from the current study is consistent with three previous experimental studies from Bott and Cohen (1991), Vasudevan et al. (2005), and Srinivasan et al. (2007), within ±20%. Here, we also present the first direct high-temperature rate constant measurements of 2-butanone + OH, 3-pentanone + OH, and 2-pentanone + OH reactions. The measured values for the 2-butanone + OH reaction are in close accord with the theoretical calculation from Zhou et al. (2011), and the measured values for the 3-pentanone + OH reaction are in excellent agreement with the estimates (by analogy with the H-atom abstraction rate constants from alkanes) from Serinyel et al. Finally, the structure-activity relationship from Kwok and Atkinson (1995) was used to estimate these four rate constants, and the estimated values from this group-additivity model show good agreement with the measurements (within ~25%) at the present experimental conditions.

High-Temperature Rate Constant Determination for the Reaction of OH with iso-Butanol
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2012; 116 (19): 4720-4725
Abstract
This work presents the first direct experimental study of the rate constant for the reaction of OH with iso-butanol (2-methyl-1-propanol) at temperatures from 907 to 1147 K at near-atmospheric pressures. OH time-histories were measured behind reflected shock waves using a narrow-linewidth laser absorption method during reactions of dilute mixtures of tert-butylhydroperoxide (as a fast source of OH) with iso-butanol in excess. The title reaction's overall rate constant (OH + iso-butanol ?(k(overall)) all products) minus the rate constant for the ?-radical-producing channel (OH + iso-butanol ?(k(?)) 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-prop-2-yl radical + H(2)O) was determined from the pseudo-first-order rate of OH decay. A two-parameter Arrhenius fit of the experimentally determined rate constant in the current temperature range yields the expression (k(overall) - k(?)) = 1.84 × 10(-10) exp(-2350/T[K]) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). A recommendation for the overall rate constant, including k(?), is made, and comparisons of the results to rate constant recommendations from the literature are discussed.

Rate Constant Measurements for the Overall Reaction of OH+1-Butanol -> Products from 900 to 1200 K
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2012; 116 (10): 2475-2483
Abstract
The rate constant for the overall reaction OH + 1-butanol ? products was determined in the temperature range 900 to 1200 K from measurements of OH concentration time histories in reflected shock wave experiments of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as a fast source of OH radicals with 1-butanol in excess. Narrow-linewidth laser absorption was employed for the quantitative OH concentration measurement. A detailed kinetic mechanism was constructed that includes updated rate constants for 1-butanol and TBHP kinetics that influence the near-first-order OH concentration decay under the present experimental conditions, and this mechanism was used to facilitate the rate constant determination. The current work improves upon previous experimental studies of the title rate constant by utilizing a rigorously generated kinetic model to describe secondary reactions. Additionally, the current work extends the temperature range of experimental data in the literature for the title reaction under combustion-relevant conditions, presenting the first measurements from 900 to 1000 K. Over the entire temperature range studied, the overall rate constant can be expressed in Arrhenius form as 3.24 × 10(-10) exp(-2505/T [K]) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). The influence of secondary reactions on the overall OH decay rate is discussed, and a detailed uncertainty analysis is performed yielding an overall uncertainty in the measured rate constant of ±20% at 1197 K and ±23% at 925 K. The results are compared with previous experimental and theoretical studies on the rate constant for the title reaction and reasonable agreement is found when the earlier experimental data were reinterpreted.

Extension of Bacillus endospore gas dynamic heating studies to multiple species and test conditions
JOURNAL OF APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY
2011; 111 (4): 925-931
Abstract
Shock wave-induced damage to a variety of Bacillus endospore species is studied for a wide range of postshock temperatures and test times in oxidative and non-oxidative gas environments.Bacillus atrophaeus and Bacillus subtilis endospores are nebulized into an aqueous aerosol, loaded into the Stanford aerosol shock tube (SAST) and subjected to shock waves of controlled strength. Endospores experience uniform test temperatures between 500 and 1000 K and pressures ranging from 2 to 7 atm, for either a short test time (?2·5 ms) or a relatively long test time (?45 ms). During this process, the bioaerosol is observed using in situ laser absorption and scattering diagnostics. Additionally, shock-treated samples are extracted for ex situ analysis including viability plating and flow cytometry. For short test times, results are consistent with previous studies; all endospore species begin to lose the ability to form colonies when shock-heated to temperatures above 500 K, while significant breakdown in morphology is observed for postshock temperatures above 700 K. Oxidative bath gases did not affect viability losses or morphological breakdown rates. Experiments with extended postshock test time showed increased viability loss with minimal morphological damage for shocks between 600 and 700 K.Genetic differences between B. subtilis and B. atrophaeus endospores do not confer noticeable gains in resistance to shock heating. Oxidative environments do not exacerbate shock-induced damage to endospores. Extended test time experiments reinforce our hypothesis that a temperature/time-dependent inactivation mechanism that does not involve morphological breakdown exists at low-to-moderate postshock temperatures.The methodology and experiments described in this paper extend the study of the interactions of endospores with shock/blast waves to new species and environmental conditions.

Temperature and pressure imaging using infrared planar laser-induced fluorescence
APPLIED OPTICS
2010; 49 (33): 6436-6447
Abstract
A new diagnostic technique for measurements of temperature and pressure distribution in gaseous flows has been developed. The technique, based on infrared planar laser-induced fluorescence (IR-PLIF), is applicable to all IR-active species. A simple two-line excitation approach is used for measurements of temperature, while pressure measurements utilize online excitation on one rotational line and offline excitation on another. A demonstration of the technique in a supersonic underexpanded jet of 30% CO2 and 70% N2 was performed, and the results are, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of temperature and pressure imaging using IR-PLIF. The developed diagnostic shows potential for single-shot two-dimensional measurements of temperature and pressure in gaseous flows.

Shock Tube/Laser Absorption Measurements of the Reaction Rates of OH with Ethylene and Propene
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2010; 114 (43): 11529-11537
Abstract
Reaction rates of hydroxyl (OH) radicals with ethylene (C?H?) and propene (C?H?) were studied behind reflected shock waves. OH + ethylene ? products (rxn 1) rate measurements were conducted in the temperature range 973-1438 K, for pressures from 2 to 10 atm, and for initial concentrations of ethylene of 500, 751, and 1000 ppm. OH + propene ? products (rxn 2) rate measurements spanned temperatures of 890-1366 K, pressures near 2.3 atm, and initial propene concentrations near 300 ppm. OH radicals were produced by shock-heating tert-butyl hydroperoxide, (CH?)?-CO-OH, and monitored by laser absorption near 306.7 nm. Rate constants for the reactions of OH with ethylene and propene were extracted by matching modeled and measured OH concentration time-histories in the reflected shock region. Current data are in excellent agreement with previous studies and extend the temperature range of OH + propene data. Transition state theory calculations using recent ab initio results give excellent agreement with our measurements and other data outside our temperature range. Fits (in units of cm³/mol/s) to the abstraction channels of OH + ethylene and OH + propene are k? = 2.23 × 10? (T)(2.745) exp(-1115 K/T) for 600-2000 K and k? = 1.94 × 10? (T)(2.229) exp(-540 K/T) for 700-1500 K, respectively. A rate constant determination for the reaction TBHP ? products (rxn 3) was also obtained in the range 745-1014 K using OH data from behind both incident and reflected shock waves. These high-temperature measurements were fit with previous low-temperature data, and the following rate expression (0.6-2.6 atm), applicable over the temperature range 400-1050 K, was obtained: k? (1/s) = 8.13 × 10?¹² (T)(7.83) exp(-14598 K/T).

Bacillus endospore resistance to gas dynamic heating
JOURNAL OF APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY
2010; 109 (5): 1591-1598
Abstract
To develop a novel laboratory procedure for the study of shock wave-induced damage to Bacillus endospores.Bacillus atrophaeus endospores are nebulized into an aerosol, loaded into the stanford aerosol shock tube and subjected to shock waves of controlled strength. Endospores experience uniform test temperatures between 500 and 1000K and pressures ranging from 2 to 7atm, for a relatively short time (2-3ms). During this process, the bioaerosol is observed using in situ laser absorption and scattering diagnostics. Additionally, shock-treated samples are extracted for ex situ analysis including viability plating, flow cytometry and SEM imaging. Measurements indicate that endospores lose the ability to form colonies when heated to test temperatures above 500K while significant breakdown in morphology is observed at test temperatures above 750K.These results demonstrate the disruption of essential biochemical pathways or biomolecules prior to the onset of significant endospore morphological deterioration.This novel laboratory approach to study the interaction of endospores with shock waves provides an experimental means to investigate the mechanisms of endospore resistance to rapid heating. In addition, this methodology allows for the direct simulation of a blast wave-bioaerosol interaction in an atmospheric environment.

High-Temperature Measurements and a Theoretical Study of the Reaction of OH with 1,3-Butadiene
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2010; 114 (32): 8312-8318
Abstract
The reaction of hydroxyl (OH) radicals with 1,3-butadiene (C(4)H(6)) was studied behind reflected shock waves over the temperature range 1011-1406 K and at pressures near 2.2 atm. OH radicals were produced by shock-heating tert-butyl hydroperoxide, (CH(3))(3)-CO-OH, and were monitored by narrow line width ring dye laser absorption of the well-characterized R(1)(5) line of the OH A-X (0,0) band near 306.7 nm. OH time histories were modeled using a comprehensive 1,3-butadiene oxidation mechanism, and rate constants for the reaction of OH with 1,3-butadiene were extracted by matching modeled and measured OH concentration time histories. Detailed error analyses yielded an uncertainty estimate of +/-13% at 1200 K for the rate coefficient of the target reaction. The current data extends the temperature range of the only previous high-temperature study for this reaction. The rate coefficient and the branching fractions for the H-abstraction channels of the target reaction were also calculated over the temperature range 250-2500 K using variational transition-state theory based on QCISD(T)/cc-pVinfinityZ//B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) quantum chemistry. The calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results above 1200 K.

A Shock Tube Study of OH + H2O2 -> H2O + HO2 and H2O2 + M -> 2OH+M using Laser Absorption of H2O and OH
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2010; 114 (18): 5718-5727
Abstract
The rate constants of the reactions: (1) H2O2+M-->2OH+M, (2) OH+H2O2-->H2O+HO2 were measured in shock-heated H(2)O(2)/Ar mixtures using laser absorption diagnostics for H(2)O and OH. Time-histories of H(2)O were monitored using tunable diode laser absorption at 2550.96 nm, and time-histories of OH were achieved using ring dye laser absorption at 306 nm. Initial H(2)O(2) concentrations were also determined utilizing the H(2)O diagnostic. On the basis of simultaneous time-history measurements of OH and H(2)O, k(2) was found to be 4.6 x 10(13) exp(-2630 K/T) [cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)] over the temperature range 1020-1460 K at 1.8 atm; additional measurements of k(2) near 1 atm showed no significant pressure dependence. Similarly, k(1) was found to be 9.5 x 10(15) exp(-21 250 K/T) [cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)] over the same temperature and pressure range.

Experimental Study of the Rate of OH + HO2 -> H2O + O-2 at High Temperatures Using the Reverse Reaction
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2010; 114 (17): 5520-5525
Abstract
The rate constant of the reaction OH + HO(2) --> H(2)O + O(2) (1) can be inferred at high temperatures from measurements of the rate of its reverse reaction H(2)O + O(2) --> OH + HO(2) (-1). In this work, we used laser absorption of both H(2)O and OH to study the reverse reaction in shock-heated H(2)O/O(2)/Ar mixtures over the temperature range 1600-2200 K. Initial H(2)O concentrations were determined using tunable diode laser absorption near 2.5 microm, and OH concentration time-histories were measured using UV ring dye laser absorption near 306.7 nm. Detailed kinetic analysis of the OH time-history profiles yielded a value for the rate constant k(1) of (3.3 +/- 0.9) x 10(13) [cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)] between 1600 and 2200 K. The results of this study agree well with those reported by Srinivasan et al. (Srinivasan, N.K.; Su, M.-C.; Sutherland, J.W.; Michael, J.V.; Ruscic, B. J. Phys. Chem. A 2006, 110, 6602-6607) in the temperature regime between 1200 and 1700 K. The combination of the two studies suggests only a weak temperature dependence of k(1) above 1200 K. Data from the current study and that of Keyser (Keyser, L.F. J. Phys. Chem. 1988, 92, 1193-1200) at lower temperatures can be described by the k(1) expression proposed by Baulch et al. (Baulch, D.L.; Cobos, C.J.; Cox, R.A.; Esser, C.; Frank, P.; Just, Th.; Kerr, J.A.; Pilling, M.J.; Troe, J.; Walker, R.W.; Warnatz, J. J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 1992, 21, 411), k(1) = 2.89 x 10(13) exp(252/T) [cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)]. However, it should be noted that some previous studies suggest a k(1) minimum around 1250 K (Hippler, H.; Neunaber, H.; Troe, J. J. Chem. Phys. 1995, 103, 3510-3516) or 1000 K (Kappel, C.; Luther, K.; Troe, J. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2002, 4, 4392-4398).

Measurements of CO2 concentration and temperature at high pressures using 1f-normalized wavelength modulation spectroscopy with second harmonic detection near 2.7 mu m
APPLIED OPTICS
2009; 48 (35): 6740-6753
Abstract
Tunable diode lasers (TDL) near 2.7 mum are used to measure high-resolution direct absorption and wavelength modulation with second harmonic (WMS-2f) spectra at high pressures for two CO(2) transitions near 3633.08 and 3645.20 cm(-1), belonging to the nu(1)+ nu(3) vibrational band. Important factors influencing the design of a high-pressure TDL sensor and the variation of WMS-2f line shape with changes in pressure and laser parameters are discussed. Measurements of line strength and line broadening parameters are carried out for the 3645.20 cm(-1) transition in an atmospheric-pressure, high-temperature cell. A room-temperature high-pressure cell is then used to measure the pressure shift for both CO(2) transitions. Deviation of the direct absorption and wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) spectra from the Lorentzian profile is studied in a high-density (9.2 amagats) CO(2)-Ar mixture. The WMS spectra are shown to be negligibly affected by non-Lorentzian effects up to 10 atm and room temperature, in contrast with direct absorption. Measurements of CO(2) concentration and temperature are carried out in nonreactive shock-tube experiments (P approximately 8-12 atm, T~800-1200 K) to validate the accuracy and precision of wavelength-modulation-spectroscopy-based sensing. CO(2) time histories are then measured in heptane ignition experiments and compared with reaction kinetics mechanisms to demonstrate the use of this sensor in high-pressure combustion systems.

Two-color-absorption sensor for time-resolved measurements of gasoline concentration and temperature
APPLIED OPTICS
2009; 48 (33): 6492-6500
Abstract
A midinfrared absorption sensor for crank-angle-resolved in-cylinder measurements of gasoline concentration and gas temperature for spark-ignition internal-combustion engines is reported, and design considerations and validation testing in the controlled environments of a heated cell and shock-heated gases are discussed. Mid-IR laser light was tuned to transitions in the strong absorption bands associated with C-H stretching vibration near 3.4 microm, and time-resolved fuel vapor concentration and gas temperature were determined simultaneously from the absorption at two different wavelengths. These two infrared laser wavelengths were simultaneously produced by difference-frequency generation, which combines a near-IR signal laser with two near-IR pump lasers in a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal. Injection current modulation of the pump lasers produced intensity modulation of the mid-IR, which allowed the transmitted signals from the two laser wavelengths to be detected on a single detector and separated by frequency demultiplexing. Injection current modulation produced a wavelength modulation synchronous with the intensity modulation for each of the laser wavelengths, and accurate measurement of the gasoline absorption signal required the effects of wavelength modulation to be considered. Validation experiments were conducted for a single-component hydrocarbon fuel (2,2,4-trimethyl-pentane, commonly known as iso-octane) and a gasoline blend in a heated static cell (300 < or = T < or = 600 K) and behind planar shock waves (600 < T < 1100 K) in a shock tube. With a bandwidth of 10 kHz, the measured fuel concentrations agreed within 5% RMS and the measured temperature agreed within 3% RMS to the known values. The 10 kHz bandwidth is sufficient to resolve 1 crank-angle degree at 1600 RPM.

Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposition Rate: A Shock Tube Study Using Tunable Laser Absorption of H2O near 2.5 mu m
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2009; 113 (46): 12919-12925
Abstract
The thermal decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was measured behind reflected shock waves in hydrogen peroxide/inert gas mixtures using a sensitive laser diagnostic for water vapor. In these mixtures, the formation rate of water is predominantly controlled by the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide. Rate determinations were made over a temperature range of 1000-1200 K and a pressure range of 0.9-3.2 atm for both argon and nitrogen carrier gases. Good detection sensitivity for water was achieved using tunable diode laser absorption of water at 2550.96 nm within its v(3) fundamental band. Hydrogen peroxide decomposition rates were found to be independent of pressure at 0.9 and 1.7 atm and showed only slight influence of pressure at 3.2 atm. The best fit of the current data to the low-pressure-limit rate for H(2)O(2) dissociation in argon bath gas is k(1,0) = 10(15.97+/-0.10) exp(-21 220 +/- 250 K/T) [cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)] (1000-1200 K). Experiments conducted in a nitrogen bath gas show a relative collision efficiency of argon to nitrogen of 0.67.

Calibration-free wavelength-modulation spectroscopy for measurements of gas temperature and concentration in harsh environments
APPLIED OPTICS
2009; 48 (29): 5546-5560
Abstract
We present a practical implementation of calibration-free wavelength-modulation spectroscopy with second harmonic detection (WMS-2f) for measurements of gas temperature and concentration in harsh environments. The method is applicable to measurements using lasers with synchronous wavelength and intensity modulation (such as injection current-tuned diode lasers). The key factors that enable measurements without the on-site calibration normally associated with WMS are (1) normalization of the WMS-2f signal by the first harmonic (1f) signal to account for laser intensity, and (2) the inclusion of laser-specific tuning characteristics in the spectral-absorption model that is used to compare with measured 1f-normalized, WMS-2f signals to infer gas properties. The uncertainties associated with the calibration-free WMS method are discussed, with particular emphasis on the influence of pressure and optical depth on the WMS signals. Many of these uncertainties are also applicable to calibrated WMS measurements. An example experimental setup that combines six tunable diode laser sources between 1.3 and 2.0 mum into one probe beam for measurements of temperature, H(2)O, and CO(2) is shown. A hybrid combination of wavelength and frequency demultiplexing is used to distinguish among the laser signals, and the optimal set of laser-modulation waveforms is presented. The system is demonstrated in the harsh environment of a ground-test scramjet combustor. A comparison of direct absorption and 1f-normalized, WMS-2f shows a factor of 4 increase in signal-to-noise ratio with the WMS technique for measurements of CO(2) in the supersonic flow. Multidimensional computational fluid-dynamics (CFD) calculations are compared with measurements of temperature and H(2)O using a simple method that accounts for the influence of line-of-sight (LOS) nonuniformity on the absorption measurements. The comparisons show the ability of the LOS calibration-free technique to gain useful information about multidimensional CFD models.

High-Temperature Shock Tube Measurements of Dimethyl Ether Decomposition and the Reaction of Dimethyl Ether with OH
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2009; 113 (37): 9974-9980
Abstract
We measured the first high-temperature rate measurements of two dimethyl ether (DME) reactions, (1) DME + Ar --> CH3O + CH3 + Ar and (2) DME + OH --> CH3OCH2 + H2O, in a shock tube by monitoring OH radicals. OH was measured with a narrow-line width laser absorption diagnostic using the well-known R1(5) line of the A-X(0,0) transition at 306.7 nm. The rate k1 is in the falloff regime at high temperatures, so it was measured at several pressures from 0.6 to 11.5 atm and temperatures from 1349 to 1790 K. OH radicals were formed by shock-heating mixtures of DME and O2 in Ar. These mixtures take advantage of the rapid decomposition of the product CH3O, forming H-atoms, which react with O2 to form OH. In carefully chosen mixtures, OH concentration is primarily sensitive to k1 and the well-known rate of H + O2 --> OH + O. Uncertainty in the k1 measurements was estimated to be +/-35%. The rate measurements were then modeled using RRKM theory, which describes the data quite well. Both the rate measurements and the RRKM model were fit from 1000 to 1800 K using the Troe falloff form: k(1,infinity)(T) = (4.38 x 10(21))T(-1.57) exp(-42,220 K/T) s(-1), k(1,o) = 7.52 x 10(15) exp(-21,537 K/T) cm3 mol(-1) s(-1), and F(cent) = 0.454 exp(-T/2510). The rate of k2 was measured at pressures near 1.6 atm and temperatures from 923 to 1423 K. OH radicals were generated by the thermal decomposition of the OH precursor tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), and k2 was inferred from the observed decay of OH with an estimated uncertainty of +/-40%. The high-temperature measurements were compared with several rate evaluations and previous low-temperature measurements. The rate evaluation by Curran et al. of k2 = (6.32 x 10(6))T2 exp(328 K/T) (cm3 mol(-1) s(-1)) was found to be an excellent fit to both the previous low-temperature measurements and this work.

Shock tube study of the reaction of CH with N-2: Overall rate and branching ratio
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2007; 111 (46): 11818-11830
Abstract
We have studied the reaction between CH and N2, (1) CH + N2 --> products, in shock tube experiments using CH and NCN laser absorption. CH was monitored by continuous-wave, narrow-line-width laser absorption at 431.1 nm. The overall rate coefficient of the CH + N2 reaction was measured between 1943 and 3543 K, in the 0.9-1.4 atm pressure range, using a CH perturbation approach. CH profiles recorded upon shock-heating dilute mixtures of ethane in argon and acetic anhydride in argon were perturbed by the addition of nitrogen. The perturbation in the CH concentration was principally due to the reaction between CH and N2. Rate coefficients for the overall reaction were inferred by kinetically modeling the perturbed CH profiles. A least-squares, two-parameter fit of the current overall rate coefficient measurements was k1 = 6.03 x 1012 exp(-11150/T [K]) (cm3 mol-1 s-1). The uncertainty in k1 was estimated to be approximately +/-25% and approximately +/-35% at approximately 3350 and approximately 2100 K, respectively. At high temperatures, there are two possible product channels for the reaction between CH and N2, (1a) CH + N2 --> HCN + N and (1b) CH + N2 --> H + NCN. The large difference in the rates of the reverse reactions enabled inference of the branching ratio of reaction 1, k1b/(k1b + k1a), in the 2228-2905 K temperature range by CH laser absorption in experiments in a nitrogen bath. The current CH measurements are consistent with a branching ratio of 1 and establish NCN and H as the primary products of the CH + N2 reaction. A detailed and systematic uncertainty analysis, taking into account experimental and mechanism-induced contributions, yields a conservative lower bound of 0.70 for the branching ratio. NCN was also detected by continuous-wave, narrow-line-width laser absorption at 329.13 nm. The measured NCN time histories were used to infer the rate coefficient of the reaction between H and NCN, H + NCN --> HCN + N, and to estimate an absorption coefficient for the NCN radical.

High-temperature shock tube measurements of methyl radical decomposition
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2007; 111 (19): 4062-4072
Abstract
We have studied the two-channel thermal decomposition of methyl radicals in argon, involving the reactions CH3 + Ar --> CH + H2 + Ar (1a) and CH3 + Ar --> CH2 + H + Ar (1b), in shock tube experiments over the 2253-3527 K temperature range, at pressures between 0.7 and 4.2 atm. CH was monitored by continuous-wave, narrow-line-width laser absorption at 431.1311 nm. The collision-broadening coefficient for CH in argon, 2gamma(CH-Ar), was measured via repeated single-frequency experiments in the ethane pyrolysis system behind reflected shock waves. The measured 2gamma(CH-Ar) value and updated spectroscopic and molecular parameters were used to calculate the CH absorption coefficient at 431.1311 nm (23194.80 cm(-1)), which was then used to convert raw traces of fractional transmission to quantitative CH concentration time histories in the methyl decomposition experiments. The rate coefficient of reaction 1a was measured by monitoring CH radicals generated upon shock-heating highly dilute mixtures of ethane, C2H6, or methyl iodide, CH3I, in an argon bath. A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism was used to model the measured CH time histories. Within experimental uncertainty and scatter, no pressure dependence could be discerned in the rate coefficient of reaction 1a in the 0.7-4.2 atm pressure range. A least-squares, two-parameter fit of the current measurements, applicable between 2706 and 3527 K, gives k(1a) (cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)) = 3.09 x 1015 exp[-40700/T (K)]. The rate coefficient of reaction 1b was determined by shock-heating dilute mixtures of C2H6 or CH3I and excess O2 in argon. During the course of reaction, OH radicals were monitored using the well-characterized R(1)(5) line of the OH A-X (0,0) band at 306.6871 nm (32606.52 cm(-1)). H atoms generated via reaction 1b rapidly react with O2, which is present in excess, forming OH. The OH traces are primarily sensitive to reaction 1b, reaction 9 (H + O2 --> OH + O) and reaction 10 (CH3 + O2 --> products), where the rate coefficients of reactions 9 and 10 are relatively well-established. No pressure dependence could be discerned for reaction 1b between 1.1 and 3.9 atm. A two-parameter, least-squares fit of the current data, valid over the 2253-2975 K temperature range, yields the rate expression k(1b) (cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)) = 2.24 x 10(15) exp[-41600/T (K)]. Theoretical calculations carried out using a master equation/RRKM analysis fit the measurements reasonably well.

Experimental investigation of toluene plus H -> benzyl plus H-2 at high temperatures
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2006; 110 (32): 9867-9873
Abstract
The reaction of toluene with hydrogen atoms yielding benzyl and molecular hydrogen, C(6)H(5)CH(3) + H --> C(6)H(5)CH(2) + H(2), was investigated using UV laser absorption of benzyl radicals at 266 nm in shock tube experiments. Test gas mixtures of toluene and ethyl iodide, an H-atom source, diluted in argon were heated in reflected shock waves to temperatures ranging from 1256 to 1667 K at total pressures around 1.7 bar. Measurement of laser absorption at 266 nm due to benzyl radicals allowed determination of the rate coefficient of the title reaction, reaction 1. A two-parameter best-fit Arrhenius expression for the rate determinations over the temperature range of these experiments is given by k(1)(T) = 1.33 x 10(15) exp(-14880 [cal/mol]/RT) [cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)]. With the use of both the high-temperature shock tube measurements reported here and the rate coefficient determination of Ellis et al. (Ellis, C.; Scott, M. S.; Walker, R. W. Combust. Flame 2003, 132, 291) at 773 K the best-fit rate coefficient for reaction 1 can be described using a three-parameter Arrhenius expression by k(1)(T) = 6.47T (3.98) exp(-3384 [cal/mol]/RT) [cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1)].

High-temperature thermal decomposition of benzyl radicals
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2006; 110 (21): 6649-6653
Abstract
The thermal decomposition of the benzyl radical was studied in shock tube experiments using ultraviolet laser absorption at 266 nm for detection of benzyl. Test gas mixtures of 50 and 100 ppm of benzyl iodide dilute in argon were heated in reflected shock waves to temperatures ranging from 1430 to 1730 K at total pressures around 1.5 bar. The temporal behavior of the 266 nm absorption allowed for determination of the benzyl absorption cross-section at 266 nm and the rate coefficient for benzyl decomposition, C6H5CH2 --> C7H6 + H. The rate coefficient for benzyl decomposition at 1.5 bar can be described using a two-parameter Arrhenius expression by k1(T) = 8.20 x 10(14) exp(-40 600 K/T) [s(-1)], and the benzyl absorption cross-section at 266 nm was determined to be sigma(benzyl) = 1.9 x 10(-17) cm2 molecule(-1) with no discernible temperature dependence over the temperature range of the experiments.

Extension of wavelength-modulation spectroscopy to large modulation depth for diode laser absorption measurements in high-pressure gases
APPLIED OPTICS
2006; 45 (5): 1052-1061
Abstract
Tunable diode laser absorption measurements at high pressures by use of wavelength-modulation spectroscopy (WMS) require large modulation depths for optimum detection of molecular absorption spectra blended by collisional broadening or dense spacing of the rovibrational transitions. Diode lasers have a large and nonlinear intensity modulation when the wavelength is modulated over a large range by injection-current tuning. In addition to this intensity modulation, other laser performance parameters are measured, including the phase shift between the frequency modulation and the intensity modulation. Following published theory, these parameters are incorporated into an improved model of the WMS signal. The influence of these nonideal laser effects is investigated by means of wavelength-scanned WMS measurements as a function of bath gas pressure on rovibrational transitions of water vapor near 1388 nm. Lock-in detection of the magnitude of the 2f signal is performed to remove the dependence on detection phase. We find good agreement between measurements and the improved model developed for the 2f component of the WMS signal. The effects of the nonideal performance parameters of commercial diode lasers are especially important away from the line center of discrete spectra, and these contributions become more pronounced for 2f signals with the large modulation depths needed for WMS at elevated pressures.

Near-infrared diode laser absorption diagnostic for temperature and water vapor in a scramjet combustor
APPLIED OPTICS
2005; 44 (31): 6701-6711
Abstract
Tunable diode laser absorption measurements of gas temperature and water concentration were made at the exit of a model scramjet combustor fueled on JP-7. Multiplexed, fiber-coupled, near-infrared distributed feedback lasers were used to probe three water vapor absorption features in the 1.34-1.47 microm spectral region (2v1 and vl + v3 overtone bands). Ratio thermometry was performed using direct-absorption wavelength scans of isolated features at a 4-kHz repetition rate, as well as 2f wavelength modulation scans at a 2-kHz scan rate. Large signal-to-noise ratios demonstrate the ability of the optimally engineered optical hardware to reject beam steering and vibration noise. Successful measurements were made at full combustion conditions for a variety of fuel/air equivalence ratios and at eight vertical positions in the duct to investigate spatial uniformity. The use of three water vapor absorption features allowed for preliminary estimates of temperature distributions along the line of sight. The improved signal quality afforded by 2f measurements, in the case of weak absorption, demonstrates the utility of a scanned wavelength modulation strategy in such situations.

High-temperature measurements of the reactions of OH with toluene and acetone
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A
2005; 109 (15): 3352-3359
Abstract
The reaction of hydroxyl [OH] radicals with toluene [C6H5CH3] was studied at temperatures between 911 and 1389 K behind reflected shock waves at pressures of approximately 2.25 atm. OH radicals were generated by rapid thermal decomposition of shock-heated tert-butyl hydroperoxide [(CH3)3-CO-OH], and monitored by narrow-line width ring dye laser absorption of the well-characterized R1(5) line of the OH A-X (0,0) band near 306.7 nm. OH time histories were modeled by using a comprehensive toluene oxidation mechanism. Rate constants for the reaction of C6H5CH3 with OH were extracted by matching modeled and measured OH concentration time histories in the reflected shock region. Detailed error analyses yielded an uncertainty estimate of +/-30% at 1115 K for the rate coefficient of this reaction. The current high-temperature data were fit with the lower temperature measurements of Tully et al. [J. Phys. Chem. 1981, 85, 2262-2269] to the following two-parameter form, applicable over 570-1389 K: k3 = (1.62 x 10(13)) exp(-1394/T [K]) [cm3 mol(-1) s(-1)]. The reaction between OH radicals and acetone [CH3COCH3] was one of the secondary reactions encountered in the toluene + OH experiments. Direct high-temperature measurements of this reaction were carried out at temperatures ranging from 982 to 1300 K in reflected shock wave experiments at an average total pressure of 1.65 atm. Uncertainty limits were estimated to be +/-25% at 1159 K. A two-parameter fit of the current data yields the following rate expression: k6 = (2.95 x 10(13)) exp(-2297/T [K]) [cm3 mol(-1) s(-1)].

Large-modulation-depth 2f spectroscopy with diode lasers for rapid temperature and species measurements in gases with blended and broadened spectra
APPLIED OPTICS
2004; 43 (35): 6500-6509
Abstract
A method that uses tunable diode lasers is developed for rapid temperature and concentration measurements of gases with highly broadened and congested spectra. Wavelength modulation absorption spectroscopy with 2f detection is utilized, because this derivative method offers benefits in dealing with blended spectral features. The 2f signal depends critically on the modulation depth of the laser alpha, which is increased to values above those typically achieved when wavelength modulation spectroscopy with diode lasers is performed. The 2f method with large modulation depths is validated by using near-IR diode lasers to probe pressure-broadened water-vapor features in the 1.4-microm region over a range of temperatures from 296 to 800 K and at pressures as high as 20 atm. Modulation depths as high as alpha = 0.8 cm(-1) are attained at modulation frequencies of 50 kHz and measurement bandwidths of 15 kHz. Comparisons of experimental results with 2f simulations, based on the HITRAN spectral database, provide confirmation of the capability of this method for rapid measurements of gas temperature and species concentration.

Rayleigh-calibrated fluorescence quantum yield measurements of acetone and 3-pentanone
APPLIED OPTICS
2004; 43 (31): 5901-5910
Abstract
We measured fluorescence quantum yields of acetone and 3-pentanone as a pure gas and with nitrogen diluent at room temperature at 20, 507, and 1013 mbar using 248, 266, and 308 nm excitation by calibrating the optical collection system with Rayleigh scattering from nitrogen. At 20 mbar with 308-nm excitation, the fluorescence quantum yields for acetone and 3-pentanone are 7 +/- 1 x 10(-4) and 1.1 +/- 0.2 x 10(-3), respectively, and each decreases with decreasing excitation wavelength. These directly measured values are significantly lower than earlier ones that were based on a chain of relative measurements. The observed pressure and excitation wavelength dependence is in qualitative agreement with a previously developed fluorescence quantum yield model, but the absolute numbers disagree. Changing acetone's fluorescence rate constant to 3 x 10(5) s(-1) from its previous value of 8 x 10(5) s(-1) resulted in good agreement between our measurements and the model.

Nitric-oxide planar laser-induced fluorescence applied to low-pressure hypersonic flow fields for the imaging of mixture fraction
APPLIED OPTICS
2003; 42 (33): 6682-6695
Abstract
The scalar-field imaging of a hypersonic mixing flow is performed in a mixing facility that is shock tunnel driven. The instantaneous mixture-fraction field of a hypersonic two-dimensional mixing layer (M1 = 5.1, M2 = 0.3) is determined with a temperature-insensitive planar laser-induced fluorescence technique with nitric oxide (NO) as the tracer species. Single-shot images are obtained with the broadband excitation of a reduced temperature-sensitivity transition in the A2 sigma+ <-- X2 II(1/2) (0, 0) band of NO near 226 nm. The instantaneous mixture-fraction field at a convective Mach number of 2.64 is shown to be nearly identical to a typical diffusive process, supporting the notion of gradient-transport mixing models for highly compressible mixing layers.

Strategies for laser-induced fluorescence detection of nitric oxide in high-pressure flames. III. Comparison of A-X excitation schemes
APPLIED OPTICS
2003; 42 (24): 4922-4936
Abstract
Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) has proven a reliable technique for nitric oxide (NO) diagnostics in practical combustion systems. However, a wide variety of different excitation and detection strategies are proposed in the literature without giving clear guidelines of which strategies to use for a particular diagnostic situation. We give a brief review of the high-pressure NO LIF diagnostics literature and compare strategies for exciting selected transitions in the A-X(0, 0), (0, 1), and (0, 2) bands using a different detection bandpass. The strategies are compared in terms of NO LIF signal strength, attenuation of laser and signal light in the hot combustion gases, signal selectivity against LIF interference from O2 and CO2, and temperature and pressure sensitivity of the LIF signal. The discussion is based on spectroscopic measurements in laminar premixed methane-air flames at pressures between 1 and 60 bars and on NO and O2 LIF spectral simulations.

Strategies for laser-induced fluorescence detection of nitric oxide in high-pressure flames. II. A-X(0,1) excitation
OPTICAL SOC AMER. 2003: 2031-2042
Abstract
A-X(0,1) excitation is a promising new approach for NO laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) diagnostics at elevated pressures and temperatures. We present what to our knowledge are the first detailed spectroscopic investigations within this excitation band using wavelength-resolved LIF measurements in premixed methane/air flames at pressures between 1 and 60 bar and a range of fuel/air ratios. Interference from O2 LIF is a significant problem in lean flames for NO LIF measurements, and pressure broadening and quenching lead to increased interference with increased pressure. Three different excitation schemes are identified that maximize NO/O2 LIF signal ratios, thereby minimizing the O2 interference. The NO LIF signal strength, interference by hot molecular oxygen, and temperature dependence of the three schemes are investigated.

Strategies for laser-induced fluorescence detection of nitric oxide in high-pressure flames. I. A-X(0,0) excitation
APPLIED OPTICS
2002; 41 (18): 3547-3557
Abstract
Three different high-pressure flame measurement strategies for NO laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) with A-X(0,0) excitation have been studied previously with computational simulations and experiments in flames up to 15 bars. Interference from O2 LIF is a significant problem in lean flames for NO LIF measurements, and pressure broadening and quenching lead to increased interference with increased pressure. We investigate the NO LIF signal strength, interference by hot molecular oxygen, and temperature dependence of the three previous schemes and for two newly chosen excitation schemes with wavelength-resolved LIF measurements in premixed methane and air flames at pressures between 1 and 60 bars and a range of fuel/air ratios. In slightly lean flames with an equivalence ratio of 0.83 at 60 bars, the contribution of O2 LIF to the NO LIF signal varies between 8% and 29% for the previous schemes. The O2 interference is best suppressed with excitation at 226.03 nm.

Wavelength-agile diode-laser sensing strategies for monitoring gas properties in optically harsh flows: application in cesium-seeded pulse detonation engine
OPTICS EXPRESS
2002; 10 (12): 505-514
Abstract
The rapid, broad wavelength scanning capabilities of advanced diode lasers allow extension of traditional diode-laser absorption techniques to high pressure, transient, and generally hostile environments. Here, we demonstrate this extension by applying a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) to monitor gas temperature and pressure in a pulse detonation engine (PDE). Using aggressive injection current modulation, the VCSEL is scanned through a 10 cm-1 spectral window at megahertz rates - roughly 10 times the scanning range and 1000 times the scanning rate of a conventional diode laser. The VCSEL probes absorption lineshapes of the ~ 852 nm D2 transition of atomic Cs, seeded at ~ 5 ppm into the feedstock gases of a PDE. Using these lineshapes, detonated-gas temperature and pressure histories, spanning 2000 - 4000 K and 0.5 - 30 atm, respectively, are recorded with microsecond time response. The increasing availability of wavelength-agile diode lasers should support the development of similar sensors for other harsh flows, using other absorbers such as native H2O.

Linear excitation schemes for IR planar-induced fluorescence imaging of CO and CO2
APPLIED OPTICS
2002; 41 (6): 1190-1201
Abstract
A detailed discussion of linear excitation schemes for IR planar-induced fluorescence (PLIF) imaging of CO and CO2 is presented. These excitation schemes are designed to avoid laser scattering, absorption interferences, and background luminosity while an easily interpreted PLIF signal is generated. The output of a tunable optical parametric amplifier excites combination or overtone transitions in these species, and InSb IR cameras collect fluorescence from fundamental transitions. An analysis of the dynamics of pulsed laser excitation demonstrates that rotational energy transfer is prominent; hence the excitation remains in the linear regime, and standard PLIF postprocessing techniques may be used to correct for laser sheet inhomogeneities. Analysis of the vibrational energy-transfer processes for CO show that microsecond-scale integration times effectively freeze the vibrational populations, and the fluorescence quantum yield following nanosecond-pulse excitation can be made nearly independent of the collisional environment. Sensitivity calculations show that the single-shot imaging of nascent CO in flames is possible. Signal interpretation for CO2 is more complicated, owing to strongly temperature-dependent absorption cross sections and strongly collider-dependent fluorescence quantum yield. These complications limit linear CO2 IR PLIF imaging schemes to qualitative visualization but indicate that increased signal level and improved quantitative accuracy can be achieved through consideration of laser-saturated excitation schemes.

CO2 imaging with saturated planar laser-induced vibrational fluorescence
APPLIED OPTICS
2001; 40 (33): 6136-6144
Abstract
We present new vibrational (infrared) planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) imaging techniques for CO(2) that use a simple, inexpensive, high-pulse-energy transversely excited atmospheric CO(2) laser to saturate a CO(2) absorption transition at 10.6 mum. Strong excitation by use of a CO(2) laser provides increased signal levels at flame temperatures and simplifies image interpretation. Because rotational energy transfer and intramodal vibrational energy transfer are fast, vibrational distributions can be approximated by use of a simple three-temperature model. Imaging results from a 425 K unsteady transverse CO(2) jet and a laminar coflowing CO/H(2) diffusion flame with temperatures near 1500 K are presented. If needed, temperature-insensitive signal levels can be generated with a two-laser technique. These results illustrate the potential for saturated infrared PLIF in a variety of flows.

Multiplexed continuous-wave diode-laser cavity ringdown measurements of multiple species
APPLIED OPTICS
2000; 39 (12): 2009-2016
Abstract
Rapid cavity ringdown measurements of multiple broadband absorbing species (methanol and isopropanol) in gas mixtures have been recorded with two multiplexed continuous-wave distributed-feedback diode lasers operating near 1.4 mum. A measurement sensitivity of 2.4 x 10(-9) cm(-1) for a 4.3-s averaging time was achieved in a 39.5-cm-long static cell with 99.94% reflectivity mirrors. This corresponds to a water-vapor detection limit of less than 2 ppb (parts in 10(9)) for the strong H(2)O lines near 1.4 mum. The shot-to-shot noise of the decay time constant tau was approximately 0.3-0.7%, and ringdown acquisition rates as great as 900 Hz were achieved.

High-resolution measurements of HBr transitions in the first overtone band using tunable diode lasers
JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY
2000; 200 (1): 138-142
Abstract
High-resolution absorption lineshapes of the R(7) and P(2) transitions in the first overtone (v = 0-2) band of H(79)Br have been recorded at room temperature using a pair of distributed feedback diode lasers operating near 1.95 and 2.00 µm, respectively. Spectral line intensities and self-broadening coefficients were determined by fitting the measured spectra (for various pressures P = 10-100 Torr) with Voigt profiles and compared with values in the literature. Measured line intensities for the P(2) and R(7) transitions are approximately 11 and 16% higher than those listed in the HITRAN database, respectively. The measured self-broadening coefficient of the P(2) transition is approximately 14% lower than the value listed in HITRAN. Measurements of the P(2) lineshapes at low pressure (100 mTorr) were modeled with eight-line Gaussian profiles based on ground state (v = 0) hyperfine constants to include the effects of nuclear electric quadrupole interactions.

Abstract
Water-vapor absorption features near 7117, 7185, and 7462 cm(-1) were probed at pressures to 65 atm (1 atm = 760 Torr) and temperatures to 1800 K in shock-heated mixtures of H(2)O in N(2) and Ar with a diode-laser source. Calculated absorbances based on Voigt line shapes and measured line parameters were in good agreement, within 10%, with measured absorbances at 7185.4 and 7117.4 cm(-1). We obtained temperature-dependent N(2) and Ar shift parameters for H(2)O absorption features by shifting the calculated spectra to match the recorded absorption scan. Absorbance simulations based on line parameters from HITRAN and HITEMP were found to be similar over the range of temperatures 600-1800 K and were within 25% of the measurements. The combined use of Toth's [Appl. Opt. 36, 4851 (1994)] line positions and strengths and HITRAN broadening parameters resulted in calculated absorption coefficients that were within 15% of the measurements at all three probed wavelengths.

Diode-laser measurements of He-, Ar-, and N-2-broadened HF lineshapes in the first overtone band
JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY
1999; 196 (1): 70-76
Abstract
High-resolution lineshapes of the HF P(3) and P(6) transitions (2-0 band) have been recorded in a 14.9-cm long absorption cell (T = 296 K) using a pair of (InGaAsP)-distributed feedback diode lasers operating near 1.31 and 1.34 µm, respectively. The absorption lineshapes were least-squares fit to Voigt, Rautian, and Galatry profiles to determine the collision widths and velocity-changing collision frequencies for the perturbers He, Ar, and N2. Motional narrowing was observed for the He-broadened lineshapes over a range of total pressures from 50 to 646 Torr. The Ar- and N2-broadened spectra showed a strong narrowing effect for pressures less than 400 Torr. At higher pressures, narrowing parameters could not be reliably determined due to the relatively large Ar- and N2-pressure broadening. The collision widths inferred from Voigt-profile fits were systematically less than those determined from Rautian and Galatry fits (up to 25% for the He-broadened P(6) transition). The measured pressure-induced broadening and shift coefficients were compared with other experimental data and full-quantal close-coupling (CC) scattering cross-section calculations. The measured Ar-broadening half-widths were in excellent agreement with calculated values, while the measured shifts were 10 and 20% less than calculated values for the P(3) and P(6) transitions, respectively. The measured N2-broadening and shift coefficients agree reasonably well with values determined from previous experiments. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Spectral intensity and lineshape measurements in the first overtone band of HF using tunable diode lasers
JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY
1999; 195 (1): 123-131
Abstract
High-resolution absorption lineshapes for the P(3) and P(6) transitions of the first overtone (v = 2-0) band of HF at 296 K have been measured using a pair of distributed feedback diode lasers operating near 1.31 and 1.34 µm, respectively. Spectral line intensities and self-broadening parameters were determined by fitting the measured spectra with Voigt, Galatry, and Rautian lineshape models. Voigt profiles fit the low-pressure (<10 Torr) spectra of the P(3) transition reasonably well due to the relatively strong collisional broadening effect. Lineshape measurements of the P(6) transition (for pressures ranging from 5 to 60 Torr) show significant variation from the Voigt lineshape model due to velocity-changing collisions that effectively reduce the Doppler component of the spectral line. Lineshape models that include motional (Dicke) narrowing effects, Galatry (soft collision) and Rautian (hard collision) profiles yield significant improvements in the spectral lineshape fits compared with Voigt profiles. The collisional broadening coefficient (gamma) of the P(6) transition obtained from a Voigt fit is approximately 4% lower than those found with either Galatry or Rautian profile fits. The measured intensities and self-broadening coefficients are compared with values in the HITRAN database and previous measurements. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Design of a diode-laser sensor to monitor water vapor in high-pressure combustion gases
APPLIED OPTICS
1997; 36 (36): 9518-9527
Abstract
The design of a diode-laser sensor to monitor water vapor in high-pressure combustion gases is described. The sensor, which employs a multiple-fixed-wavelength absorption strategy, has the potential to simultaneously monitor the water mole fraction and the temperature and pressure in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. The conventional scanned-wavelength strategy, employed in previous diode-laser sensors, is shown to be ill-suited for high-pressure applications. The application of impact and additive approximations in the modeling of H(2)O absorption features at high pressures is validated experimentally for number densities as high as 18 amagats. Criteria to select optimum wavelength combinations for the fixed-wavelengths strategy are discussed. Optimum wavelength combinations that meet these criteria are identified for different temperature and pressure ranges of interest to combustion applications. The proposed sensor configuration and a strategy to obtain the baseline (zero absorption intensity) in high-pressure environments are also described. Line-shape models that are appropriate for different temperature and pressure regimes are identified.

Diode laser sensor for measurements of CO, CO2, and CH4 in combustion flows
APPLIED OPTICS
1997; 36 (33): 8745-8752
Abstract
A diode laser sensor has been applied to monitor CO, CO(2), and CH(4) in combustion gases with absorption spectroscopy and fast extraction-sampling techniques. Survey spectra of the CO 3nu band (R branch) and the 2nu(1) + 2nu(2)(0) + nu(3) CO(2) band (R branch) near 6350 cm(-1) and H(2)O lines from the nu(1) + 2nu(2) and 2nu(2) + nu(3) bands in the spectral region from 6345 to 6660 cm(-1) were recorded and compared with calculated spectra (from the HITRAN 96 database) to select optimum transitions for species detection. Species concentrations above a laminar, premixed, methane-air flame were determined from measured absorption in a fast-flow multipass absorption cell containing probe-sampled combustion gases; good agreement was found with calculated chemical equilibrium values.

Temperature imaging with single- and dual-wavelength acetone planar laser-induced fluorescence
OPTICS LETTERS
1997; 22 (4): 251-253
Abstract
Two sensitive techniques for temperature imaging by use of acetone planar laser-induced fluorescence, applicable at temperatures up to 1000 K, are introduced and demonstrated. Photophysics data on the wavelength-dependent temperature variation of acetone fluorescence permit the implementation of a single-wavelength technique in environments with constant pressure and constant acetone mole fraction, and a dual-wavelength method can be applied in flows with mixing and (or) chemical reaction. Preliminary imaging results are presented for acetone-air flow over a heated cylinder (single-wavelength strategy) and for a heated laminar jet (dual-wavelength strategy).

Tunable diode-laser absorption measurements of NO2 near 670 and 395 nm
APPLIED OPTICS
1996; 35 (21): 4059-4064
Abstract
Two single-mode diode lasers were used to record high-resolution absorption spectra of NO(2) (dilute in Ar) near 670.2 and 394.5 nm over a range of temperatures (296 to 774 K) and total pressures (2.4 × 10(-2) to 1 atm). A commercial InGaAsP laser was tuned 1.3 cm(-1) at a repetition rate of 1 kHz to record the absorption spectra near 670.2 nm. In separate experiments with a prototype system, an external-cavity GaAlAs laser was frequency doubled with a quasi-phase-matched LiNbO(3) waveguide and tuned 3.5 cm(-1) to record absorption spectra near 394.5 nm. Variations of the spectral absorption coefficients with temperature and pressure were determined from measured spectra.

Tunable diode-laser absorption measurements of methane at elevated temperatures
OPTICAL SOC AMER. 1996: 4026-4032
Abstract
A diode-laser sensor system based on absorption spectroscopy techniques has been developed to monitor CH(4) nonintrusively in high-temperature environments. Fundamental spectroscopic parameters, including the line strengths of the transitions in the R(6) manifold of the 2?(3) band near 1.646 ?m, havebeen determined from high-resolution absorption measurements in a heated static cell. In addition, acorrected expression for the CH(4) partition function has been validated experimentally over thetemperature range from 400 to 915 K. Potential applications of the diode-laser sensor system includeprocess control, combustion measurements, and atmospheric monitoring.

DUAL DIODE-LASER FIBEROPTIC DIAGNOSTIC FOR WATER-VAPOR MEASUREMENTS
OPTICS LETTERS
1994; 19 (14): 1091-1093
Abstract
We present a novel diode-laser diagnostic for water-vapor measurements based on absorption spectroscopy. Two InGaAsP diode lasers were used to record H(2)O absorption line shapes near 1395 nm at a 3-kHz repetition rate along a single path through a water-vapor flow field generated in a shock tube. The use of two lasers permits simultaneous line-shape measurements in different spectral regions and facilitates the selection of appropriate line pairs for thermometry. The wavelength tuning rate was determined by use of a fiber-optic device known as a ring interferometer. Flow-field conditions (1320 K, 0.3 atm) inferred from measured line shapes compared favorably with calculated values.

APPLICATION OF QUANTITATIVE 2-LINE OH PLANAR LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE FOR TEMPORALLY RESOLVED PLANAR THERMOMETRY IN REACTING FLOWS
APPLIED OPTICS
1994; 33 (18): 4000-4012
Abstract
A temporally resolved approach for measurement of two-dimensional temperature fields in reacting flows is experimentally investigated. The method, based on planar laser-induced fluorescence of the hydroxyl (OH) radical, is applicable in many combustion environments, including variable density flow fields. As a means of examining the accuracy of the technique, temperature images, from 1300 to 3000 K and 0.4 to 3 atm, have been acquired in shock-heated H(2)-O(2)-Ar flows with a two-laser, two-image ratio scheme. A complete measurement system for producing accurate, effectively instantaneous temperature images is described; the system includes single-shot monitors for laser-sheet energy distributions and spectral profiles. Temperature images obtained with the OH A(2)Σ(+) ? X(2)II (1, 0) P(1)(7)-Q(2)(11) transition pair exhibit a systematic error of only 7% over the entire range of conditions, with the error most likely dominated by shot-to-shot fluctuations in the lasers'spectral profiles. The largest error source in the instantaneous temperature images is photon shot noise. A group of OH transition pairs that provide good temperature sensitivity and strong signals for reduced shot-noise error over a range of flow-field conditions is also presented.

DIODE-LASER ABSORPTION TECHNIQUE FOR SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENTS OF MULTIPLE GASDYNAMIC PARAMETERS IN HIGH-SPEED FLOWS CONTAINING WATER-VAPOR
APPLIED OPTICS
1994; 33 (15): 3296-3307
Abstract
A distributed-feedback InGaAsP diode laser, emitting near 1.38 µm, was used to acquire spectrally resolved absorption profiles of H(2)O lines in the ν(1) + ν(3) band at a repetition rate of 10 kHz. The profiles were used for simultaneous measurements of flow parameters in high-speed, one-dimensional (1-D) transient flows generated in a shock tube. Velocity was determined from the Doppler shift, which was measured with a pair of profiles simultaneously acquired at different angles with respect to the flow direction. Temperature was determined from the intensity ratio of two adjacent lines. Pressure and density were found from the fractional absorption. From these primary gasdynamic variables, the mass and momentum fluxes were determined. Experiments were conducted with three different gas mixtures in the shock tube: pure H(2)O at initial pressures lower than 3 Torr, up to 6% of H(2)O in O(2) at initial pressures below 120 Torr, and up to 8% of H(2)O in O(2) at initial pressures below 35 Torr. In the third case, pyrolysis of H(2) /O(2) behind incident shocks produced known yields of H(2)O. With all three mixtures, results compare well with 1-D shock calculations. This H(2)O diagnostic strategy shows promise for applications in both ground and flight testing.

LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE DIAGNOSTIC FOR TEMPERATURE AND VELOCITY-MEASUREMENTS IN A HYDROGEN ARCJET PLUME
APPLIED OPTICS
1993; 32 (30): 6117-6127
Abstract
A diagnostic has been developed to measure velocity and translational temperature in the plume of a 1-kW-class arcjet thruster operating on hydrogen. Laser-induced fluorescence with a narrow-band cw laser is used to probe the Balmer ? transition of excited atomic hydrogen. The velocity is determined from the Doppler shift of the fluorescence excitation spectrum, whereas the temperature is inferred from the lineshape. Analysis shows that although Doppler broadening is the only significant broadening mechanism, the fine structure of the transition must be taken into account. Near the exit plane, axial velocities vary from 4 to 14 km/s, radial velocities vary from 0 to 4 km/s, and swirl velocities are shown to be relatively small. Temperatures from 1000 to 5000 K indicate high dissociation fractions.

LASER-DIODE WAVELENGTH-MODULATION SPECTROSCOPY FOR SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENT OF TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, AND VELOCITY IN SHOCK-HEATED OXYGEN FLOWS
APPLIED OPTICS
1993; 32 (30): 6090-6103
Abstract
Wavelength modulation at 10 MHz of an AlGaAs laser diode, superposed on repetitive linear scans of wavelength, is applied to measure second-harmonic absorption line shapes of oxygen in the A band. Theoretical expressions of the harmonic line shapes, including the effect of laser amplitude modulation and varying modulation depth, are presented. A least-squares fit of the experimental line shapes to theoretical second-harmonic line shapes permits simultaneous determination of the temperature and the pressure. The use of high-repetition-rate (10-kHz) linear scans of the studied wavelength region permits application of the technique to high-speed unidimensional transient flows generated in a shock tube; velocity is derived from the Doppler shift of the absorption profiles.

LASER-ABSORPTION MASS FLUX SENSOR FOR HIGH-SPEED AIR-FLOWS
OPTICS LETTERS
1991; 16 (24): 2002-2004
Abstract
We present a laser-based concept for an air mass flux sensor based on the simultaneous measurement of density and velocity of O(2). The sensor uses wavelength modulation absorption spectroscopy at 10 MHz of an AlGaAs laser diode in the b(1)Sigma(g)(+)(v' = 0)-X(3)Sigma(g)(-)(v'' = 0) system of O(2), combined with second-harmonic detection. The apparatus is demonstrated on a high-speed oxygen flow generated behind the incident shock wave in a shock tube. The measurement time is 0.5 ms for typical absorption levels of 0.5%.

RAPID TUNING CW LASER TECHNIQUE FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GAS VELOCITY, TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, DENSITY, AND MASS FLUX USING NO
APPLIED OPTICS
1991; 30 (21): 3011-3022
Abstract
An intracavity-doubled rapid-tuning cw ring dye laser was used to acquire fully resolved absorption profiles of NO line pairs in the A ? X band at 225 nm at a rate of 4 kHz. These profiles were utilized for simultaneous measurements of flow parameters in the high speed 1-D flows generated in a shock tube. Velocity was determined from the Doppler shift measured using a pair of profiles simultaneously acquired at different angles with respect to the flow direction. Temperature was determined from the intensity ratio of the adjacent lines. Pressure and density were found both from the collisional broadening and the fractional absorption. From this information the mass flux was determined. The results compare well to 1-D shock calculations.

CONTINUOUS WAVE LASER-ABSORPTION TECHNIQUES FOR GASDYNAMIC MEASUREMENTS IN SUPERSONIC FLOWS
APPLIED OPTICS
1991; 30 (18): 2598-2608
Abstract
Line-of-sight measurements of velocity, temperature, pressure, density, and mass flux were performed in a transient shock tube flow using three laser absorption schemes. All methods employed an intracavity-doubled ring dye laser tuned to an OH transition in the A(2) summation operator(+) ? X(2)II (0,0) band at 306 nm. In the first scheme, the gas was labeled by 193.3-nm excimer photolysis of H(2)O, and the passage of the generated OH was detected downstream. In the second method, the laser was tuned at a rate of 3 kH(z) over the R(1)(7) and R(1)(11) line pair, and absorption was simultaneously monitored at 90 and 60 degrees with respect to the flow. Velocity was determined from the Doppler shift of the profiles and the temperature from the intensity ratio of the lines. Pressure was determined from both the magnitude of absorption and the collisional broadening. In the third method, the laser wavelength was fixed at a single frequency, and a continuous measurement of velocity and pressure was obtained using the signals from the two beam paths. All methods gave results which compare favorably to calculated values.

SIMULTANEOUS PLANAR MEASUREMENTS OF VELOCITY AND PRESSURE FIELDS IN GAS-FLOWS USING LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE
APPLIED OPTICS
1988; 27 (1): 33-48
Abstract
The development of a nonintrusive spectroscopic technique is reported which permits simultaneous spatially resolved measurements of two velocity components and pressure in a plane of a compressible gaseous flow field. The technique is based on the detection of fluorescence from an absorption line excited with a narrowbandwidth laser. Doppler shift and pressure broadening of the line are exploited to extract velocity and pressure information, respectively. The fluorescence is detected at a 90 degrees angle with an image-intensified 100 x 100 element photodiode-array camera which is interfaced with a laboratory computer. Results of the implementation in a Mach 1.5 underexpanded supersonic jet are presented.

TEMPERATURE-MEASUREMENTS IN SHOCK-TUBES USING A LASER-BASED ABSORPTION TECHNIQUE
APPLIED OPTICS
1987; 26 (5): 885-891
Abstract
A laser-based technique for monitoring temperature in shock tube flows is reported. The method employs a rapid-tuning ring-dye laser to record the fully resolved absorption spectrum of the R(1)(7) and R(1)(11) lines of OH near 306.5 nm. The temperature is inferred from the ratio of the peak absorption coefficients of the two lines. Comparisons with calculated reflected shock temperatures show agreement within +/-3% for the 1300-3500 K range.

QUANTITATIVE IMAGING OF TEMPERATURE-FIELDS IN AIR USING PLANAR LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE OF O-2
OPTICS LETTERS
1987; 12 (2): 75-77
Abstract
Planar laser-induced fluorescence of O(2) has been used to acquire quantitative, instantaneous two-dimensional images of temperature in heated air flows. O(2) is excited by using a broadband ArF excimer laser at 193 nm, and the resultant fluorescence signal is converted to temperature by using a theoretical calculation of the dependence of the fluorescence on temperature. This calculation has been confirmed experimentally, and validating data are presented.

INSTANTANEOUS TEMPERATURE-FIELD MEASUREMENTS USING PLANAR LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE
OPTICS LETTERS
1985; 10 (9): 439-441
Abstract
A single-pulse, laser-induced-fluorescence diagnostic for the measurement of two-dimensional temperature fields in combustion flows is described. The method uses sheet illumination from a tunable laser to excite planar laserinduced fluorescence in a stable tracer molecule, seeded at constant mole fraction into the flow field. The temporal resolution of this technique is determined by the laser pulse length. Experimental results are presented for a rodstabilized, premixed methane-air flame, using the Q(1) (22) line of the nitric oxide A(2) Sigma(+) (v = 0) ? X(2)II((1/2))(v = 0) transition (lambda approximately 225.6 nm).

LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE TECHNIQUE FOR VELOCITY-FIELD MEASUREMENTS IN SUBSONIC GAS-FLOWS
OPTICS LETTERS
1983; 8 (9): 474-476
Abstract
A nonintrusive optical technique is reported for multiple-point velocity measurements in subsonic flows. The technique is based on the detection of fluorescence from a Doppler-shifted absorption line of seeded iodine molecules excited at a laser frequency fixed in the wing of the line. Counterpropagating laser sheets are used to illuminate the flow, in the present case a nitrogen round jet, thereby eliminating the need for an unshifted reference signal. The fluorescence is detected simultaneously at 10,000 points in a plane of the flow using a 100 x 100 element photodiode-array camera. The velocity at each point is computed from four successive camera frames, each recorded with a different beam direction. The measured mean velocities between 5 and 50 m/sec agree well with data from the literature.

SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE-POINT VELOCITY-MEASUREMENTS USING LASER-INDUCED IODINE FLUORESCENCE
OPTICS LETTERS
1983; 8 (1): 51-53
Abstract
A technique is demonstrated for measuring velocity at multiple locations in a plane of a gaseous flowfield using Doppler-shifted absorption with fluorescence detection from iodine molecules, excited by a sheet of tunable single-axial-mode argon-ion laser radiation at 514.5 nm. Measurements were made simultaneously at 10,000 points in an iodine-seeded supersonic flowfield with a 100 x 100 element photodiode array camera and were found to agree well with a numerical solution for the velocity field. The accuracy with which a component of velocity can be measured is limited, in the current approach, by the iodine linewidth to about +/-5 m/sec.
