High-speed mid-infrared laser absorption spectroscopy of CO [Formula: see text] for shock-induced thermal non-equilibrium studies of planetary entry
{{output}}
A high-speed laser absorption technique is employed to resolve spectral transitions of CO 2 in the mid-infrared at MHz rates to infer non-equilibrium populations/temperatures of translation, rotation and vibration in shock-heated CO 2 - Ar mixtures. An int... ...
