Demonstration of a Burst-Mode-Pumped Noncolinear Optical Parametric Oscillator (NOPO) for Broadband CARS Diagnostics in Gases

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Demonstration of broadband nanosecond output from a burst-mode-pumped noncolinear optical parametric oscillator (NOPO) has been achieved at 40 kHz. The NOPO is pumped by 355-nm output at 50 mJ/pulse for 45 pulses. A bandwidth of 540 cm-1 was achieved from the OPO with a conversion efficiency of 10% for 5 mJ/pulse. Higher bandwidths up to 750 cm-1 were readily achievable at reduced performance and beam quality. The broadband NOPO output was used for a planar BOXCARS phase matching scheme for N2 CARS measurements in a near adiabatic H2/air flame. Single-shot CARS measurements were taken for equivalence ratios of φ=0.52-0.86 for temperatures up to 2200 K.
