title: [Studies on spectral characteristics of solid propellant by remote sensing FTIR].
abstract: The infrared spectral characteristics of high-intensity IR solid propellant were measured in this paper using a Bruker EQUINOX55 remote sensing FTIR spectrometer. The emission spectra of the combustion flame were recorded in the range of 4700-1800 cm(-1) with a spectral resolution of 4 cm(-1). The combustion temperatures of solid propellant at the burning time of 0, 9, 18, 27 and 36 s calculated from the molecular rotation-vibration spectra were 1992.5, 1610.9, 2294.4, 2361.1 and 1916.9 K, respectively. Moreover, the spectral radiance distributions of the high IR flare material at different times were given, and the combustion product concentrations of HCl, HF, CO2 and CO were determined quantitatively. Results showed that remote sensing FTIR is a potential technology that can be applied to the measurement of IR spectral characteristics, especially to the identification of the IR objects, guidance and anti-guidance in the military, and the modification of the make-up of solid propellant.
