High-sensitivity detection of NO in a flame using a tunable ArF laser.

چکیده
A tunable, narrow-band ArF laser has been used for laser-induced fluorescence detection of NO in natural abundance in a flame experiment. P and R branches of the D(2)Sigmaupsilon' = 0?X(2)Pi(3/2,1/2)upsilon'' transition were observed probing rotational states between J'' = 19.5 and J'' = 44.5. A single-shot detection limit of 1 part in 10(6) was found with a monochromator-based, dispersed-fluorescence detection system. In an experimental setup, determination of undispersed laser-induced fluorescence detection limits at or below the 1-part-in-10(9) range should be possible, because the narrow-band laser can be used to suppress all other sources of contaminating fluorescence even for detection of trace NO. The NO B(2)Piupsilon' = 7 ? X(2)Piupsilon'' = 0 transition was also observed in a cell experiment but not in the flame and is reported here.

Two-dimensional imaging of molecular hydrogen in H(2)-air diffusion flames using two-photon laser-induced fluorescence.
We report the use of a tunable ArF laser at 193.26 nm to record simultaneous single-laser-shot, planar images of molecular hydrogen and hot oxygen in a turbulent H(2)-air diffusion flame. Excitation spectra of fuel and oxidantrich flame zones confirm a partial overlap of the two-photon H(2) (6,0) Q(1) E, F ? X and single-photon O(2) (10,2) R(17) B ? X (Schumann-Runge) absorption bands. UV Rayle...
متن کاملSensitivity Enhancement of Ring Laser Gyroscope Using Dielectric-Graphene Photonic Crystal
In a ring laser gyroscope, due to the rotation and the Sagnac effect, a phase difference between the two counter-propagating beams is generated. In this device, the higher phase difference between these two beams causes the better the interference pattern detection, and thus the sensitivity is increased. In this paper, the effect of inserting a dielectric-graphene photonic crystal inside a ring...

متن کاملTunable KrCI excimer-laser operation for combustion diagnostics.
Operating conditions for a tunable XeCl excimer laser have been optimized for tunable narrow-band operation at 222 nm with KrCl, formed in Kr/He/Ne/HCl gas mixtures. This wavelength is interesting for detection of nitric oxide (NO) in combustion environments. The laser emission coincides with the (1, 1) and (2, 2) bands of the NO A-X system. Laser-induced-fluorescence spectra taken in a flame s...
