Gaseous unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) are investigated in an atmospheric pressure combustor with premixing and prevaporization. The rectangular combustion chamber is equipped with silica quartz windows allowing laser-based investigations in the UV regime. A new double shell concept is employed to atomize the fuel (n-heptane) and to stabilize the flame. For the detection of UHC, a tuneable ArF (λ ≈ 193 nm) or KrF (λ ≈ 248 nm) excimer laser is used. The results show that this imaging technique is feasible in an atmospheric pressure, liquid fuelled combustor. Liquid and gaseous fuel is detected inside the vortices induced by the double shell, where the main combustion processes occur. Furthermore, droplets and UHC can be found along the symmetry line of the double shell. Comparing the two approaches used for the visualization of UHC, it turns out that the application of a KrF laser seems to be more suitable.

ABSTRACTThe diffraction grating on SiC mirror was performed by a laser holographic method. In the present method, KrF laser and CIF3 was used for etchant gas. The ClF3 gas has an absorption band in the range between 200 and 400 nm. Therefore, CIF3 gas is effectively decomposed by the XeF, KrF and ArF excimer lasers' radiation. It is found that absorption of Si—C is about 50% in the range of between200 and 400 nm, and that the bonding energy of Si—C is lower than the photon energy of KrF laser beam. The above results indicate the direct decomposition of Si—Cbond. On the other hand, the threshold fluence energy for etching was 800 mJ/cm2 in 249 nm and in 193 nm as high as 7 J/cm2. In these results, the KrF laser is more effective than ArF laser. Then we applied KrF laser to crystalline SiC in an atmosphere of C1F3 gas. The divided two polarized KrF laser beams were interfered on the substrate. And the beams were used to photodissociated CIF3 gas in the proximity of substrate. Fluence of KrF laser beam was 1 J/cm2. The incidential angle of KrF laser beams was 20º and the grating gaps were 7170 Å, etching depth 1000 Å, and etching rate was 5 Å/pulse.
