Recent Developments in Modulation Spectroscopy for Trace Gas Detection Using Tunable Diode Lasers

Abstract

The need for higher sensitive detection technology for trace gas samples, either in the laboratory setup or in the atmospheric remote sensing has been a goal for several decades. The development of the tunable diode laser has propelled the progress of trace detection technology, and modulation technology enables the improvement of the detection sensitivity. As a result, the detection of 10^?7 or 10^?8 absorbance is possible for some applications, and modulation technology has been applied to the ultraviolet as well as mid-infra red wavelength range. In this review, recent progress of tunable diode lasers and diode laser-based modulation technologies are presented. Wavelength modulation, frequency modulation, and two-tone frequency modulation techniques are mainly described along with the actual application of the techniques. In addition, the state-of-the-art of diode laser development which can be adopted for the trace detection is presented.     

A mathematical model for the propulsive thrust of the thin elastic wing harmonically oscillating in a flow of non-viscous incompressible fluid

In the present paper there is proposed an analytical approach to study vibration of a rectangular elastic wing in the stationary stream of non-viscous fluid. We first develop a basic two-dimensional integral equation. Then a series expansion along the short coordinate is applied. This reduces the problem to an infinite set of one-dimensional integral equations which is studied asymptotically with respect to the large aspect ratio parameter. An example of optimization of thickness of the wing is demonstrated, to test the efficiency of the proposed method in applications.

Two-phase refrigerant flow instability analysis and active control in transient electronics cooling systems

Two-loop refrigeration systems are being explored for two-phase cooling of ultra high power electronic components. For effective and efficient thermal management of electronic systems, active control methods are desired to suppress inherent flow instabilities especially in transient applications. This paper presents a framework for the transient analysis and active control of pressure-drop flow instabilities under varying imposed heat loads. The external effects on boiling flow characteristics and the boiling oscillatory flow responses to transient heat load changes are studied. Flow instability margins can be quantitatively predicted from an analytical two-phase flow model. In addition, the effects of wall thermal inertia on flow oscillations is systematically investigated. Based on the theoretical analysis of oscillatory flow boiling of refrigerants, a set of active control schemes are developed and studied to suppress flow oscillations and to increase the critical heat flux. With the available control devices – inlet valve and supply pump – different active control schemes are studied to improve the transient two-phase cooling performance.     

A Reduced Order Cyclic Method for Computation of Limit Cycles

A reduced order cyclic method was developed to compute limit-cycle oscillations for large, nonlinear, multidisciplinary systems of equations. Method efficacy was demonstrated for two simplified models: a typical-section airfoil with nonlinear structural coupling and a nonlinear panel in high-speed flow. The cyclic method was verified to maintain second-order temporal accuracy, yield converged limit cycles in about 10 Newton iterates, and provide precise estimates of cycle frequency. This method was projected onto a low-order space using a set of variables governing the amplitudes of empirically derived modes, which were computed with the proper orthogonal decomposition. In this reduced order form, the cyclic Jacobian was greatly compressed, allowing accurate limit cycle solutions to be very efficiently computed.The U.S. Governments right to retain a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence in and to any copyright is acknowledged.
