Abstract

Theoretical and experimental studies haveindicated that fractions of O2(1Δ) can be produced in anelectrical discharge that may permit lasing of an electricdischarge oxygen-iodine laser (ElectriCOIL) system,possibly in conjunction with the injection of predissociatediodine. Results of those studies along withmore recent experimental results show that electricexcitation is a complex process that must beinvestigated with advanced diagnostics along withmodeling to better understand this highly complexsystem. In this paper, recent detailed experimentalmeasurements of the RF discharge region in theElectriCOIL system are presented, including E/N andtemperature measurements. Diagnostics play a criticalrole in developing an understanding of the ElectriCOILsystem; and, as such, a great deal of care has been takento implement high quality diagnostics for evaluating theflow properties emerging from the discharge region.Spectroscopic temperature measurements are takenfrom the O2(1Σ) emission data.
