Abstract

We present a portable CO2 laser heating system for in situ x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) studies at 16-BM-D (High Pressure Collaborative Access Team, Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory). Back scattering optical measurements are made possible by the implementation of a Ge beamsplitter. Optical pyrometry is conducted in the near-infrared, and our temperature measurements are free of chromatic aberration due to the implementation of the peak-scaling method [A. Kavner and W. R. Panero, Phys. Earth Planet. Inter. 143-144, 527-539 (2004) and A. Kavner and C. Nugent, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 79, 024902 (2008)] and mode scrambling of the input signal. Laser power stabilization is established using electronic feedback, providing a steady power over second timescales [Childs et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 91, 103003 (2020)] - crucial for longer XAS collections. Examples of in situ high pressure-temperature extended x-ray absorption fine structure measurements of ZrO2 are presented to demonstrate this new capability.
