synchrotrons -- Advanced Photon Source
GSECARS, HPCAT, SRICAT -- ESRF, SPring-8, ALS,
NSLS Mainly variants of near-IR laser,
double-sided heating design of G. Shen and
colleagues, RSI, 2001. CO2 laser heating
systems -- Advantages large focal spot, no
absorber so avoid chemical reactions and
diffraction interference -- Problems heating
limited to lt40 GPa?, diamond damage, mainly
1-side only Sample environment (Laser heating

5Design goals for CO2 system  CO2 laser heating
system for in situ use at APS beamline
13-ID-D Status heating system established and
tested in lab, almost ready for hutch
installation Power adequate for heating Fe-free
silicates in the DAC Status 230 W laser more
than adequate. 50 µm spot in olivine heats at 90
W at 38 GPa with Type I diamonds Heating can be
carried out using either Type 1 or Type II
diamonds. Robust, reliable system without
alignment drift Status Negligible drift in
short term heating. High laser power will require
better DAC cooling to be implemented. Power
stability as great as achievable Status CO2
laser can be operated in CW mode. External power
modulation is done using a polarizer/attenuator.
Motorization of attenuator and feedback loop for
stabilization will be implemented Facilitate
hutch installation by using existing components
wherever appropriate Status CO2 beam delivery
has been designed to be single-sided viewing
optics and temperature measurement will occur on
the other side of the DAC, and will utilize the
system currently in place for YLF laser
heating. Conform to safety requirements at
APS Status Laboratory system interlocked,
keyswitched, and shielded. Guidelines for
alignment and operation have been established and
implemented. Shielding material has been
installed also as a liner to laser enclosure in
13-ID-D hutch.

P18-25 GPa, T 2000 K --Good agreement between
MgO and Pt pressures during and after
heating --thermal pressure in sample heated at
1400 K was 2 GPa at 23 GPa --After heating,
pressure outside sample (ruby) was 2-3 GPa higher
than pressure in heated area
