Burst-Mode Laser Captures Combustion Details
American researchers have devised a new-type of laser that provides bursts lasting 10 times longer than previous examples—enough to enable “movies” of these reactions.
The laser built by a team at Iowa State University, Spectral Energies LLC and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory.
In the search for alternative fuels, scientists need tools to take snapshots of combustion reactions that happen at short time scales. American researchers have devised a new-type of laser that provides bursts lasting 10 times longer than previous examples—enough to enable “movies” of these reactions (Opt. Lett. 37, 1346).
