A VERSATILE, SUPERSONIC GAS JET
SUB-MILLISECOND VALVE ACTUATION
CUSTOM CONFIGURED JET PROFILE
HIGH REP-RATE OPERATION
The AASC Gas Jet system utilizes a fast pulser to achieve <100μs opening and <1ms valve closing, which helps maintain high-vacuum operation even at high rep-rates.
With the ability to configure the nozzle shape to create single or dual jet profiles and compatibility with different gas species and ~150Bar pressures, the Gas Jet system is well suited to a broad spectrum of applications:
Laser Plasma Accelerator targets | Dense Plasma Foci | Coaxial Gas Guns | Z-Pinches
CUSTOM DENSITY PROFILE
Outlet nozzle can be configured to achieve the desired density profile to fit the application. Example profile below for 1mm circular nozzle using He gas
ENABLES BROAD APPLICATIONS
Our proprietary software enables the design of jet profiles to fit a broad range of applications. Below are some examples of current and past bespoke gas jets.
Columnated, Triple-Shell Ar Jet
(20MA Z-Pinches)
Kr Jet for Radiative Shocks
(astrophysical jet simulation)
H Jet for ~2GeV electrons
(pointing stability of jet)
Ar clusters from cooled Gas Jet
(clusters across flow field)
RACK MOUNTED DRIVER ELECTRONICS
The AASC Gas Jet system includes a ruggedized, rack mountable (2U) valve driver which utilizes a custom architecture designed to prevent high voltages from being exposed during charging as well as an integrated current monitor allowing for monitoring of the valve drive pulse during operation
