Quantitative optical tomographic imaging of a supersonic jet
Abstract
Two-dimensional quantitative images of the density of chlorine in a supersonic expansion are produced with an absolute accuracy of 5 percent in 150-micron pixels by using optical absorption tomography. An incoherent arc-lamp source provides ample ultraviolet radiation for high-resolution optical absorption tomographic measurements. A measurement of the chlorine absorption coefficient is reported.
