A high-speed laser absorption technique is employed to resolve spectral transitions of CO in the mid-infrared at MHz rates to infer non-equilibrium populations/temperatures of translation, rotation and vibration in shock-heated CO - Ar mixtures. An interband cascade laser (DFB-ICL) resolves 4 transitions within the CO asymmetric stretch fundamental bands ( v = 1) near 4.19 . The sensor probes a wide range of rotational energies as well as two vibrational states (00 0 and 01 0). The sensor is demonstrated on the UCLA high enthalpy shock tube, targeting temperatures between 1250 and 3100 K and sub-atmospheric pressures (up to 0.2 atm). The sensor is sensitive to multiple temperatures over a wide range of conditions relevant to Mars entry radiation. Vibrational relaxation times are resolved and compared to existing models of thermal non-equilibrium. Select conditions highlight the shortcomings of modeling CO non-equilibrium with a single vibrational temperature.
采用一种高速激光吸收技术,以兆赫兹速率解析中红外波段CO的光谱跃迁,从而推断冲击加热的CO - Ar混合物中平动、转动和振动的非平衡粒子数/温度。一种带间级联激光器(分布反馈 - ICL)解析了在4.19附近CO不对称伸缩基频带((v_3 = 1))内的4个跃迁。该传感器探测了广泛的转动能量以及两个振动态(000和010)。该传感器在加州大学洛杉矶分校高焓激波管上进行了演示,目标温度为1250至3100 K,压力低于大气压(最高0.2 atm)。该传感器在与火星进入辐射相关的广泛条件下对多种温度敏感。解析了振动弛豫时间,并与现有的热非平衡模型进行了比较。特定条件凸显了用单一振动温度模拟CO非平衡的不足之处。
