Mathematical modeling of CO2 TEA laser

Five and six-temperature models for the CO₂–N₂–He system are used to describe the process of the dynamic emission in the TEA CO₂ laser. All physical constants and relaxation rates related to these models are examined to estimate the output pulse parameters as a function of the input parameters. The two pumping processes implemented; empirical function and differential equation show a good agreement with the experimental data.     

Measurements of the linewidth of a continuous-wave distributed feedback quantum cascade laser

Two-sample (Allan) variance with a modified algorithm was applied to the determination of the experimental linewidth of a thermoelectrically-cooled continuous-wave distributed feedback quantum cascade laser at a wavelength of 4.333 μm. From successive laser transmittance scans over the CO₂ ν₃, (01¹1 − 01¹0) P(33) absorption line at 2307.653 cm^− 1, two-sample variances were calculated for the laser frequency difference between different points on the sides of the absorption peak. From the minimum two-sample variance of the laser frequency difference between two adjacent points (5 μs between the points) on the same side of the absorption line the experimental laser linewidth was estimated to be less than 36(7) kHz at a laser power of ~ 25 mW, a laser current of 976 mA and a laser temperature of + 19.5 °C.

Dynamical analysis of acousto-optically Q-switched CO2 laser

A compacted size high power CO₂ laser has been developed using an acousto-optically (AO) Q-switch. Performance characteristics have been investigated as a function of output mirror transmittance. The theory of six-temperature model for CO₂ lasers has firstly been utilized to analyze the dynamical process in the AO Q-switched CO₂ laser. This theory perfectly explains the behavior of energy transfer between different molecules in laser gain medium, and describes the shape of pulse laser. The calculated pulse waveforms are in good agreement with the experimental result. Both the experimental and theoretical results present that the optimal value of output mirror transmittance is 39%. Under this condition, the measured peak power is 4750 W and pulsed width is 160 ns, which is consistent with the calculations. Six-temperature model is a perfect theory for CO₂ laser kinetics, which will lay a theoretical foundation for the laser optimum design.     

Mathematical modeling of TE CO2 laser with SF6 as a saturable absorber

A mathematical model describing the dynamic emission of a single mode TE CO₂ laser with saturable absorber has been adapted. A six-temperature model has been used to describe the amplifying medium, while a four-coupled energy level is used to describe the selective absorbing medium. The suggested mathematical model allows the investigation of the effects of the intracavity absorber on the mode characteristics of the TE CO₂ laser and, moreover, the study of the effect of the laser input parameters on the output laser pulse. The model simulates the passive Q-switch in both low- and high-pressure cases in the absorbing medium.

In addition, numerical solutions of a non-linear rate equation system of the suggested model are quantitatively discussed. The solutions describe the photon number density, the population inversion and the energy transfer processes of amplifying and absorbing media.

A novel CO2 gas analyzer based on IR absorption

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas analyzer can be widely used in many fields. A novel CO₂ gas analyzer based on infrared ray (IR) absorption is presented sufficiently in this paper. Applying Lambert–Beer Law, a novel space-double-beam optical structure is established successfully. The optical structure includes an IR source, a gas cell, a bandpass filter with a transmission wavelength at 4.26 μm, another bandpass filter with a transmission wavelength at 3.9 μm, and two IR detectors. Based on Redial Basic Function (RBF) artificial neural network, the measuring model of IR CO₂ analyzer is established with a high accuracy. A dynamic compensation filter is effectively designed to improve the dynamic characteristic of the IR CO₂ analyzer without gas pump. The IR CO₂ analyzer possesses the advantages of high accuracy and mechanical reliability with small volume, lightweight, and low-power consumption. Therefore, it can be used in such relevant fields as environmental protection, processing control, chemical analysis, medical diagnosis, and space environmental and control systems.     

Interaction of CO2 with Cs-promoted Fe(110) as compared to Fe(110)/K+CO2

The interaction of CO₂ with Cs-promoted Fe(110) at 85 K as well as temperature-dependent reactions between 100 and 700 K have been studied by means of ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Several surface species could be detected at 85 K, i.e. carbon monoxide (CO), carbonate (COⁿ⁻₃), physisorbed linear carbon dioxide (CO^lin₂) and very small amounts of oxidic oxygen (O_ox). An oxalate species (C₂O^m−₄) could not be identified definitively, but from comparison with the literature there is evidence that C₂O^m−₄ is present. Increasing the temperature after saturation with CO₂ leads to a complicated reaction behaviour. CO₂ either desorbs or dissociates into CO and COⁿ⁻₃ or forms C₂O^m−₄ at temperatures between 85 and 160 K. Above 160 K C₂O^m−₄, decomposes in parallel reactions into CO₂, COⁿ⁻₃ and CO. Above 320 K, adsorbed CO either desorbs into the gas phase or dissociates into C and O. In the temperature region between 500 and 700 K a recombination of C and O to CO and the desorption of Cs take place. As in the case of Fe(110)/K+CO₂, at high alkali coverages two carbonate species could be detected which dissociate upon heating at different temperatures. The system Fe(110)/Cs+CO₂ is proved to be very similar to the system Fe(110)/K+CO₂.     

Interactions of D2O with CO and CO2 molecules at cryogenic temperatures

On the basis of the matrix effect of secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), the intermolecular interactions between D₂O and hydrophobic molecules have been investigated at temperature of 15 K. The D⁺ yield is found to be enhanced markedly relative to the D₃O⁺ yield when the D₂O molecule forms a complex with the CO or CO₂ molecules on the surface. The CO molecules are incorporated in the inner pores of amorphous solid water and then cover the outermost surface facing to the vacuum, which is followed by the 3D-island growth on it. A similar result is obtained for the adsorption of the CO₂ molecule but the filling of the inner pores is not complete due to the lower mobility of the CO₂ molecule. The D₂O film grows on the CO₂ layer, but a pure D₂O film is hardly formed on the CO layer due to the occurrence of intermixing.     

Absorption spectra of CO2 and CO2 near 1.05 μm

The absolute line intensities of the Fermi triad 2003i-00001 (i = 1, 2, 3) of ¹²C¹⁶O₂ and ¹³C¹⁶O₂ isotopic species of carbon dioxide were retrieved from Fourier-transform spectra recorded at Doppler limited resolution in the region 9200-9700 cm⁻¹. The accuracy of the line intensity determination is estimated to be better than 15% for most lines. The vibrational transition dipole moments squared and Herman-Wallis coefficients have been determined. The global fittings of the observed line intensities within the framework of the effective operators method have been performed. The fitting results reproduce the data within experimental uncertainty.     

A spectroscopic study of water vapor isotopologues H2O, H2O and HDO using a continuous wave DFB quantum cascade laser in the 6.7 μm region for atmospheric applications

A quantum cascade spectrometer was used in the laboratory to study H₂¹⁶O, H₂¹⁸O and HDO line intensities near 6.7 μm. The spectral region ranging from 1483 to 1487 cm⁻¹, which is suitable for the in situ laser sensing of these isotopologues in the atmosphere, was investigated using a continuous-wave distributed feed-back quantum cascade laser. Eight lines of water vapor isopologues were studied—one line of the ν₂ band of H₂¹⁶O, one line of the 2ν₂-ν₂ band of H₂¹⁶O, two lines of the ν₂ band of H₂¹⁸O and four lines of the ν₂ band of HDO were carefully revisited. The measured intensities were thoroughly compared to relevant molecular databases and other experimental and calculated results. We also observe that the H₂O, D₂O, HDO equilibrium constant agrees excellently with previously determined values.
