Michigan State University, et al.; Notice
of Decision on Applications for DutyFree Entry of Scientific Instruments
This is a decision pursuant to Section
6(c) of the Educational, Scientific, and
Cultural Materials Importation Act of
1966 (Pub. L. 89–651, as amended by
Pub. .106–36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part

Docket Number: 12–036. Applicant:
Michigan State University, 2555
Engineering Building, Department of
Mechanical Engineering, East Lansing,
MI 48824–1226. Instrument: Diode
Pumped High speed Nd:YAG laser
system. Manufacturer: Edgewave GmbH,
Germany. Intended Use: See notice at 77
FR 61739, October 11, 2012. Comments:
None received. Decision: Approved. We
know of no instruments of equivalent
scientific value to the foreign
instruments described below, for such
purposes as this is intended to be used,
that was being manufactured in the
United States at the time of its order.
Reasons: The instrument will be used as
a diagnostics equipment to study high
temperature combustion occurring in a
laboratory combustor with highly
turbulent flows, specifically to detect
chemical species of combustion in
conditions that are similar to actual
engine operating conditions. The system
will be used to pump a dye laser to
generate ultra-violet light which can be
used to rack chemical species during
combustion, such as hydroxyl (OH)
radicals. The hydroxyl which is excited
using ultraviolet light (283 nm) will
then fluoresce and can be detected using
an intensified CCD camera. The key
requirements that this system fulfills are
the beam profile of M2<2, to ability to
perform sub 10 ns pulses with all the
different specifications, and the crystals
inside are all temperature controlled to
phase match regardless of the outside
temperature fluctuations.
