光热偏转光谱法测量煤油火焰内的速度分布

火焰的速度测量是燃烧力学和流体诊断中的研究内容之一,对于燃烧成分分析和推进动力学具有重要研究意义。激光多普勒速度测量学测量精度高,但由于测量过程本身的复杂性以及其在低速测量中的误差增大使得该方法的应用受到限制,因而光热偏转光谱法在面向低中速流体测量时具有较好的实用价值。光热偏转光谱法测速使用一束泵浦光入射到被测介质中,由于流体介质中成分吸收光后形成热透镜分布,当一束探测光入射到介质中时,由于热透镜移动使探测光产生偏折,通过测量探测光相对泵浦光的高度和信号偏转对应的飞行时间,可得到流体的速度。通过自建泵浦探测光热偏转实验装置,使用单脉冲能量为20 mJ、波长为355 nm的泵浦光和功率为2 mW、波长为632.8 nm的连续探测激光对煤油火焰的不同位置进行了速度测量,测量装置的空间分辨率为2×10~(-5) cm~3。对距煤油灯芯高度5, 8和11 mm处的火焰平面进行了速度测量,得到了火焰对应的水平速度分布,发现在接近火焰下方的位置,同一水平面的火焰外部速度高于内部速度;在接近火焰上方位置,同一水平面的火焰内部速度高于外部速度;同一平面的速度分布接近于抛物线形分布。对距火焰中心±2 mm的三个竖直平面进行速度分布测量,得到了对应竖直面的速度分布,发现竖直中轴线上靠近火焰底部的点速度慢于两侧,上部的速度快于两侧,同上述水平速度分布测量得到的结论一致。实验所测得的火焰速度在0.2～1.5 m·s~(-1)之间。通过使用单脉冲能量分别为20, 40和60 mJ泵浦激光,分析了介质击穿在速度测量过程中引入的误差。通过进一步优化系统信噪比,光热偏转光谱法作为流体速度测量的有力工具将可实现对温度和浓度等参数的测量并用于燃烧诊断。     

滤片-XRD探测系统响应时间测量

 研究了软X射线能谱仪探测道系统(系统包括X射线二极管（XRD）、SUJ-50-10电缆和不同频带示波器)的响应时间。实验利用上海激光联合实验室的20TW激光器激光(激光能量约20J，脉冲宽度约1ps)打金箔靶产生的X光，用XRD探测系统测量，记录示波器有TK684C，TK694C和WM8500等。将实验数据进行了线性拟合和比对分析。滤片XRD探测系统的响应时间随偏压升高而加快，随传输电缆长度的增加而变慢，因此测量快信号过程时，应提高探测器偏压，缩短传输电缆，选择宽频带高采样率示波器，以便减少系统的响应时间，减小信号失真程度。

Mechanism of laser-induced plasma shock wave evolution in air

A theoretical model is proposed to describe the mechanism of laser-induced plasma shock wave evolution in air. To verify the validity of the theoretical model, an optical beam deflection technique is employed to track the plasma shock wave evolution process. The theoretical model and the experimental signals are found to be in good agreement with each other. It is shown that the laser-induced plasma shock wave undergoes formation, increase and decay processes; the increase and the decay processes of the laser-induced plasma shock wave result from the overlapping of the compression wave and the rarefaction wave, respectively. In addition, the laser-induced plasma shock wave speed and pressure distributions, both a function of distance, are presented.     

Dynamics of laser-induced shock wave by optical probe in air

A new simple optical system based on optical beam deflection combining the holophote corner cube was developed in order to study the dynamics of laser-induced shock waves in air. In this method, we adopt a He-Ne laser beam as the detection beam. The He-Ne laser beam, reflected by corner cube, intersects the propagating shock wave at two successive positions. The measurement of the shock wave velocity benefits from the double peak signals induced by the same acting laser pulse, which is calculated from the time interval between the corresponding oscilloscope signals and the distance of the two He-Ne laser beams. By virtue of this setup, we are also able to determine the pressure of the generated shock waves. It is shown that this method is simple with a fairly good precision and is much easier than the conventional methods used for this task.     

Fibre-Coupling Zig-Zag Beam Deflection Technology for Investigation of Attenuation Process of Laser-Induced Shock Waves

A novel fibre-coupling zig-zag beam deflection technology is developed to investigate the attenuation process of laser-induced shock waves in air. Utilizing ordinal reflections of probe beams by a pair of parallel mirrors, a zig-zag beam field is formed, which has eleven probe beams in the horizontal plane. When a laser-induced shock wave propagates through the testing field, it causes eleven deflection signals one after another. The whole attenuation process of the shock wave in air can be detected and illuminated clearly on one experimental curve.     

Study of laser-induced plasma shock waves by the probe beam deflection technique

Laser probe beam deflection technique is used for the analysis of laser-induced plasma shock waves in air and distilled water. The temporal and spatial variations of the parameters on shock fronts are studied as functions of focal lens position and laser energy. The influences of the characteristics of media are investigated on the well-designed experimental setup. It is found that the shock wave in distilled water attenuates to an acoustic wave faster than in air under the same laser energy. Good agreement is obtained between our experimental results and those attained with other techniques. This technique is versatile, economic, and simple to implement, being a promising diagnostic tool for pulsed laser processing.     

Optical diagnostics for particle-cleaning process utilizing laser-induced shockwave

The dynamics of laser-induced plasma/shockwave and the interaction with a surface in the laser shock cleaning process are analyzed by optical diagnostics. Shockwaves are generated by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser in air or with N₂, Ar, and He injection into the focal spot. The shock velocity is measured by monitoring the photoacoustic probe–beam deflection signal under different conditions. In addition, nanosecond time-resolved images of shockwave propagation and interaction with the substrate are obtained by the laser-flash shadowgraphy. The results reveal the effect of various operation parameters of the laser shock cleaning process on shockwave intensity, energy-conversion efficiency, and flow characteristics. Discussions are made on the cleaning mechanisms based on the experimental observations. PACS 81.65.Cf; 42.62.-b; 47.40.Nm

Nanoparticle sizing by a laser-induced breakdown detection using an optical probe beam deflection

A method for determining the size of a colloidal nanoparticle by measuring the magnitude of the probe beam signal which can be remotely measured in a non-contact manner has been developed. The method using a probe beam signal is intended to employ a principle by which the path of a probe beam is changed by a laser-induced shock wave, accompanying the occurrence of a laser-induced breakdown of colloidal nanoparticles. It was observed that the peak and full width at half-maximum of a frequency distribution curve of the measured magnitude of a probe beam signal appear in direct correlation with the size of a nanoparticle at the fixed pulse energy of a laser beam for the breakdown. A calibration curve for a particle sizing is presented for particle diameters ranging from 20 to 60 nm, with reference polystyrene particles. An application is demonstrated for measuring hexavalent uranium colloidal particles generated by the hydrolysis of free uranyl ions.     

Acoustic emission monitoring during laser shock cleaning of silicon wafers

A laser shock cleaning is a new dry cleaning methodology for the effective removal of submicron sized particles from solid surfaces. This technique uses a plasma shock wave produced by laser-induced air breakdown, which has applied to remove nano-scale silica particles from silicon wafer surfaces in this work. In order to characterize the laser shock cleaning process, acoustic waves generated during the shock process are measured in real time by a wide-band microphone and analyzed in the change of process parameters such as laser power density and gas species. It was found that the acoustic intensity is closely correlated with the shock wave intensity. From acoustic analysis, it is seen that acoustic intensity became stronger as incident laser power density increased. In addition, Ar gas has been found to be more effective to enhance the acoustic intensity, which allows higher cleaning performance compared with air or N₂ gas.     

Non-contact sound speed measurement by optical probing of beam deflection due to sound wave

We report a non-contact and non-invasive method of sound speed measurement by optical probing of deflected laser beam due to normally incident degenerated shock wave. In this study the shock wave from an exploding wire was degenerated to an ordinary sound wave at the distance exceeding 0.23 m. Temporal resolution of the deflected beam signal was improved by passing through an adequate electronic high-pass filter, as a result we obtained a better temporal resolution than that of the acoustic pressure detection by PZT transducer in terms of rising time. The spatial resolution was improved by passing the refracted beam signal into the edge of focusing lens to make a larger deflection angle. Sound speed was calculated by monitoring the time of flight of transient deflected signal at the predetermined position. Sound speed has been measured in air, distilled water and acryl, agreed well with the published values. The sound speed measured in the solution of glycerin, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), and dimethylformamide with various mole fractions also agrees within 3% of relative error with those measured in the present work by ultrasonic pulse echo method. The results suggest that the method proposed is to be reliable and reproducible.
