spectroscopy (LAS) was used to measure the gas temperature, pressure, and partial
pressures of CO and H2O in the annulus of a rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE). A
quantum-cascade laser (QCL) emitting near 4978.8 nm was used to measure temperature,
pressure, and the partial pressure of CO at 750 kHz using scanned-wavelength direct
absorption (scanned-DA). Tunable diode lasers (TDLs) emitting near 1391.7 nm and 1469.3 …
