Highlights of the 2016 Summer Laboratory Student Intern Program at Sandia National Labs [Slides]
Combined picosecond (10-12 s) and femtosecond (10-15 s) laser pulses can give sensitive, low-noise measurements of important quantities in reacting flows, such as species concentrations and temperature. Emmanuel’s work focused on the development of an instrument for tailoring the time profile of picosecond laser pulses for use in nonlinear optical spectroscopic methods created from broad bandwidth femtosecond pulses. In addition to constructing the device, Emmanuel produced a LabView-based automation code, building off skills he developed in a previous CCI internship at Sandia.
