Research abstract
Physical Optics Corporation (POC), R&D Division, proposes a novel approach to non-intrusive combustion and flow characterization at the Wright Laboratory Test Cell 22 Direct-Connect Ramjet Facility. This approach is based upon the use of non-imaging optical (NIO) couplers and fiber optics to gain optical access to the test hardware for a wide range of diagnostic techniques. The use of metallic NIOs to reduce the numerical aperture (NA) of the fiber optics allows a coupling design that is small (l/4" diameter), rugged, vibration tolerant and compatible with actively cooled test hardware. The use of both UV and NIR grade optical fiber permits the measurement of static temperature, molecular oxygen, hydrocarbons, water vapor, carbon dioxide, hydroxyl radical and combustion intermediates.
