(Hadamard Raman imaging)

Description: We have used newly developed holographic notch filters for obtaining both Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman images. The filters can be used as close as {plus minus}70 cm{sup {minus}1} from the Rayleigh line. We have demonstrated that they are insensitive to polarization, have 80% transmission across their clear apertures and block laser light by 10{sup 4}. The devices now have replaced sharp-cut glass filters on our microscope. We have successfully developed multispectral control and display softwar… more

Possibilities for x-ray holography using synchrotron radiation

Description: Since the theoretical and experimental demonstrations of the effectiveness of soft x-rays in imaging biological material there has been considerable study given to the prospects for further development of the presently existing techniques. This has been motivated to a large extent by advances in source technology, particularly the use of undulators on electron storage rings and recent improvements in short wavelength lasers. The present author has carried out theoretical evaluations of the poss… more

Nondestructive-evaluation needs for coal liquefaction

Description: Nondestructive-evaluation (NDE) needs for coal liquefaction have been identified by acquiring information from site visits, a literature reveiw, and discussions with government personnel. Nondestructive evaluation has been highly rated in importance as a way to help alleviate problems in coal-conversion systems. The primary problems are associated with highly erosive and corrosive slurries being transferred throughout the coal-conversion process. Applicable NDE techniques for both preservice an… more

Femtosecond Time-Delay X-Ray Holography

Description: X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) will produce photon pulses with a unique and desirable combination of properties. Their short X-ray wavelengths allow penetration into materials and the ability to probe structure at and below the nanometer scale. Their ultra-short duration gives information about this structure at the fundamental time-scales of atoms and molecules. The extreme intensity of the pulses will allow this information to be acquired in a single shot, so that these studies can be car… more

(Diffraction gratings used in x-ray spectroscopy): Final report

Description: This subcontract was initiated in order to facilitate the development at MIT of technologies for fabricating the very fine diffraction grating required in x-ray spectroscopy at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL). These gratings are generally gold transmission gratings with spatial periods of 200 nm or less. The major focus of our efforts was to develop a means of fabricating gratings of 100 nm period. We explored two approaches: e-beam fabrication of x-ray lithography masks, and achromatic hol… more

Shot report, Holo-17-Holo-22 Rex-9

Description: We report on a series of holographic shots using explosives to generate ejecta from lead. These experiments covered a range of geometries including point initiation and plane wave initiation for the H.E., and using a gas-fill in the cavity where the ejecta was produced. The final experiment, Rex-9 was a Fabry-Perot experiment at Site 300 which provided the velocity history of the lead surface for the purpose of normalizing the code being used to calculate the position of the lead surface in the… more

Nondestructive evaluation of electron-beam braze joins

Description: A nondestructive evaluation (NDE) program has been carried out using holographic interferometry, microradiography, and eddy current testing for the inspection of electron beam braze joining of dissimilar metals. Stainless steel tubing was joined to a gold-copper disk using a Cusil (copper/silver) brazing alloy. Holographic interferometry provided an indirect measure of strength by detecting the plastic deformation occurring as a result of applying a stress. Microradiography with the aid of comp… more

Online monitoring of laserpulses using the GPIB-interface of a Tektronix 2430 Digital Storage Oscilloscope

Description: One of the monitoring aspects of holography at the 15 foot Bubble Chamber is the online checking of the lightoutput of the JK2000 ruby laser. Ideally the lightoutput should be a squared pulse in time. Spikes, pre- and postlasing (i.e., lasing before and after the squared pulse) can have a negative influence on the holograms. The scheme for monitoring the lightoutput is discussed in this paper as well as the programming codes and experimental setup necessary to enhance the holography. 1 fig.

Quarterly progress report, July-September 1982

Description: Our ability to characterize fuel shells was greatly improved this quarter by the installation of the Eikonix Image Acquisition System. Linking this system to the VAX 11/750 computer permits real-time imaging of radiographic plates. Analysis of the thermal transport experimental campaign continued. We found that the mass-ablation rate was significantly higher for spherical targets than for planar targets. The ablation rate was also greater for 0.53 ..mu..m light used in similar experiments perfo… more

Theory of x-ray holography including phase and amplitude contrast and finite transfer functions

Description: We present the theory in broadly the same way as for visible holography, specializing to the Gabor, in-line case with plane-wave illumination, but allowing phase and amplitude contrast and a fairly general transfer function. Much of this theory is treated by a number of earlier authors but none with the particular choice of issues that we wish to address. These are those mentioned plus numerical reconstruction from a digitized hologram and of course application to the soft x-ray spectral range.… more

Experimental investigation of synfuel spray characteristics and combustion dynamics. Quarterly technical progress report for the period October 1 - December 31, 1980

Description: During the initial report period, efforts were directed primarily towards the design and construction of the cold spray rig. Air flow, fuel flow, and optical requirements were identified. These provided the basis for sizing the spray chamber, air flow ducting, blowers, fuel system and general optical configurations. Detailed design of major systems was completed, major hardware components were ordered, and subsystem assembly was initiated. In addition to the planned design and assembly work on … more

Particulate processes in pulverized coal flames. Quarterly technical progress report, October-December 1980

Description: Major attention has been focused on the design and construction of the experiment. The design of two dilute coal stream reactor heads was completed as was the fabrication of one of the reactor heads. A parametric analysis of furnace design was conducted to allow operating conditions and insulation configurations to be selected to provide an axial temperature drop of less than 200/sup 0/K/m with a 1-second residence time in the reactor. Final design of the reactor body is in progress. Design of … more

Holography explained in the language of potential scattering

Description: Holography is explained in the language of potential scattering kinematics (whereas usually the formalism of wave optics is used). This approach is probably more natural for those who were trained as atomic, nuclear, etc., physicists, but are now attracted by the possibility of x-ray holography. Classical optical instruments are hardly mentioned, and the approximations usually connected with them are not used. Many of the results derived in this report are not new. 5 figures

KMSF x-ray laser experiments. Task No. 2. Final report

Description: This report summarizes work done at KMS Fusion, Inc. in support of the x-ray laser experimental program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It follows an earlier report of Task No. 1 of the subject purchase order. As in that report, most of the original data has been reviewed by the LLNL technical staff, with much of it transferred to LLNL for analysis. Consequently, this report does not include a detailed presentation of the data.
