Imaging spectroradiometer for HF laser studies

We discuss a non-intrusive diagnostic for mixing, species concentration, and optical gain for HF chemical lasers. The instrument is based on hyperspectral imaging using a low order Fabry-Perot interferometer. The basic theory behind this technology is described and several applications to a chemically reacting flowfield are presented.
