Planar imaging of laser-induced fluorescence of CH radical is made to examine combustion processes in a valveless pulse combustor. An excimer-pumped dye laser tuned to a wavelength of 387 nm is used to excite the R1N″=6 line of (0,0) band of the B2Σ−−X2Π system of CH radical, and an image-intensified CCD camera system is used to detect the (0,1) band emission at around 435 nm. According to the CH-LIF images, it is found that the progress in combustion during a pulsation period is expressed by the enlargement and breakup of the earlobe-shaped flame front along the outline of a pair of large-scale eddies of fresh mixture.

A low-cost CCD camera system for imaging Coulter orifices ranging in diameter between 20 µm and 2 mm has been developed and tested. The imaging system incorporates a 6X magnifying lens for viewing the required range of Coulter orifices and LEDs (Light emitting diodes) lamp for back illuminating the orifices. Geometric optic calculations using Zemax® for the micro-lens interfaced with the camera suggest that the spot diameter and the MTF spatial frequency at field of view equal to 0 ° and at the image plane are 5.13 µm and 271.6 lines/mm (at contrast= 37.6%), respectively. Images captured with the camera system for 20 µm, 100 µm and 2 mm diameter orifices are provided. Furthermore, a discussion for the camera micro-lens modulation transfer function, spot diagram, root-mean-square wavefront error versus field and optical path difference plots is given.

Our university recently purchased a liquid-nitrogen-cooled CCD camera system (from Photometrics Ltd., Tucson, Arizona) which has been installed on our campus’ 40-cm multiple access (Cassegrain/Newtonian) telescope. Images are reduced online at the observatory using Photometrics’ microcomputer-based analysis software package, which includes operations for standard data acquisition and initial stages of data reduction — including corrections for bias, dark current, and flat fielding. Images are displayed on a 256-level-gray-scale black and white monitor. Additional post-processing can be done either on the CCD system’s computer at the observatory or on IBM-AT/PC’s located both at the observatory and in the laboratory.

The astronomers at the University of New Mexico are applying the finishing touches to their CCD project. We addressed many issues during the course of this project, such as whether to build or buy the CCD camera system, what upgrades our telescope and observatory were in need of, and what kind of image processing capability the instrument demanded. Our decisions and solutions are presented as a guide to other institutions which may be considering CCD instrumentation for their small telescopes, especially since most face the same constraints that we do: limited money and manpower.
