The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory awarded a $227,030 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) to develop a Quantum Cascade Laser Spectrometer for investigating non-equilibrium plasma chemistry from March 15, 2022 through December 14, 2023. The grant funds the acquisition of a laser spectrometer to analyze the chemical composition of non-equilibrium plasmas, which will support the Air Force's goal under the Defense Research Sciences Program to maintain technological superiority in scientific areas relevant to its needs and prevent technological surprise from adversaries. The spectrometer will provide data to increase understanding of plasma chemistry not in thermal equilibrium.
