Definitions
- This invention relates to laser window cleaning.
- laser light window with a series of short duration, high peak power laser light pulses.
- this laser light window cleaning method further comprises a first step in which the laser light window is heated to at least approximately 350°C.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of an embodiment of the apparatus used for laser light window cleaning.
- Figure 2 is a photograph of (left to right): a window coated with carbonized
- varnish with cleaned area an uncarbonized varnish coated window, a sooted laser light window with a cleaned area.
- Figure 3 is a graph of the percent transmission of laser light through a window
- Jet fuels contain low volatility paraffinic components, typically as much as five percent. These low volatility components, which are in solution in the other jet
- sooty residue on the laser window glass can be removed by application of pulses of short duration high
- peak power laser light such as that produced by a short-pulse Q-switched laser.
- Short pulse lasers are defined in the art as being lasers designed to generate a
- laser light pulses of this application generally have the maximum instantaneous power
- the coating can
- combustion can be removed by heating of the window followed by laser light
- Heating of the window can be accomplished by utilization of heat from the
- hydrocarbon residues are removed with pulses of short duration high peak power laser
- sooty hydrocarbons readily absorb the laser light and vaporize from the
- This invention can be practiced using any source of laser light positioned so as
- Quartz substrates 1 in diameter x 1 mm thickness
- a contaminated window 14 was placed into the focused laser output 12 of the
- the 10-cm focal length lens which was an integral part of a laser-based fuel ignitor.
- the Nd:YAG laser provided a multiple-transverse
- the transmission of laser light 12 through the window 14 was monitored by a
- the laser pulse energy monitor 20 with each firing of the laser ignitor system.
- the laser pulse energy monitor 20 transmitted signals to an electronic readout device 22.
- window transmission is plotted versus number of incident laser pulses for placement
- coated window provided the same transmission.
- the small transmission difference between an uncontaminated window and the laser cleaned window was found to be due to vignetting of laser light
- Fuel varnish was prepared by
- Nd YAG laser light window cleaning performance virtually identical to that
