Diode-laser-based near-resonantly enhanced flow visualization in shock tunnels

Robert Hruschka, Sean O'Byrne, Harald Kleine
Two new near-resonantly enhanced flow visualization techniques suitable for hypersonic low-density flows in shock or arc tunnels have been developed using seeded lithium (Li) metal as the refractivity-enhancing species. Two semiconductor lasers, single-longitudinal-mode and multimode, are compared ... [Appl. Opt. 47, 4352-4360 (2008)]
