Title: Spectroscopy and kinetics of combustion gases at high temperatures. Technical progress report, March 1, 1991--October 31, 1992

This program involves two complementary activities: (1) development and application of cw ring dye laser absorption. methods for sensitive detection of radical species and measurement of fundamental spectroscopic parameters at high temperatures; and (2) shock tube studies of radical-molecule and radical-radical reactions relevant to combustion. Species currently under investigation in the spectroscopic portion of the research include NO and CH{sub 3}; this has necessitated the development of a unique intracavity frequency-doubling system for our cw laser which operates at wavelengths in the range 210--230 nm. Shock tube studies of reaction kinetics currently are focussed on reactions of CH{sub 3} radicals.
