Development of sequence and regular band lasers for use as local oscillators in Thomson scattering alpha particle diagnostics

  • 1. Univ. of North Carolina, Asheville

Description

Heterodyne detection will be used to measure the scattered signal from a 100-MW pulsed CO2 laser Thomson scattered from energetic alpha particles. This measurement requires local oscillators displaced from the pump line by 6 to 21 GHz. The authors are developing cw sequence and regular band N2O and CO2 lasers which provide many lines in the required frequency range. The sequence lines are obtained by using a small in-cavity hot cell. Operating characteristics will be discussed for a variety of experimental arrangements
