Brannon, P J; Franklin, F R; Jones, E D

A frequency doubled Nd:YAG/Glass laser system has been constructed for use at the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore. This laser system will be used to make single shot spontaneous Raman Spectroscopy measurements of ongoing combustion processes. The output of the system is 5 J of 1.064 ..mu..m radiation and 0.8 J or 532 nm radiation in a 2 ..mu..sec pulse. The repetition rate of the system is 1 pps. A microprocessor-based diagnostic and control system for the operation is described.
