Group-velocity-dispersion measurements of atmospheric and combustion-related gases using an ultrabroadband-laser source.

چکیده
The use of femtosecond-laser sources for the diagnostics of combustion and reacting-flow environments requires detailed knowledge of optical dispersive properties of the medium interacting with the laser beams. Here the second- and third-order dispersion values for nitrogen, oxygen, air, carbon dioxide, ethylene, acetylene, and propane within the 700-900 nm range are reported, along with the pressure dependence of the chromatic dispersion. The effect of dispersion on axial resolution when applied to nonlinear spectroscopy with ultrabroadband pulses is also discussed.

A computer program was developed to predict the dispersion of gas pollutant in the atmosphere. This program relies on puff method, and in order to consider the wind shear effects, the program has the ability to consider the complete dynamic and unsteady atmospheric conditions. Plume rise of hot pollutants due to buoyancy effects was also considered. The program has the capacity to perform the r...

متن کاملUltrabroadband beam splitter with matched group-delay dispersion.
We present a general design strategy for a broadband thin-film beam splitter with matched group-delay dispersion. By taking the substrate dispersion into account in the coating design, any combination of input and output can show the same dispersion for transmission and reflection. As a specific implementation, an ultrabroadband 50:50 beam splitter from 600 to 1500 nm for femtosecond laser appl...
متن کاملMeasurements of Outdoor Air Pollution from Secondhand Smoke on the Umbc Campus
Introduction. Individual cigarettes are point sources of air pollution; smoking in groups becomes an area source. Outdoor air pollutants from individual point sources are subject to plume rise if the temperature of the smoke plume is hotter than the surrounding air; however if the plume has a small cross-section, as for a cigarette, it will rapidly cool and lose its upward momentum, and then wi...
