Purpose of grant was to purchase equipment necessary to construct an infrared laser source based on difference frequency generation in AgGaS[sub 2]. This continuous wave, single frequency, tunable infrared source has been assembled and is being used for infrared kinetic spectroscopy of small free radicals important in combustion. Infrared spectra are given for the Q-branch of a combination band (11[sup 1]1) of N[sub 2]O, and for the transient in CO produced by flash photolysis of acetone in various vibrational states.
