Abstract
Two-dimensional temperature fields are measured in lean and sooting flames by means of two-color laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) imaging that uses seeded NO. Vibrational thermometry is performed by the probing of different vibrational ground-state levels. Spectral properties of the excited transitions within the A2Σ+–X2Π system are well known from previous studies. The energy difference of 1974 cm−1 between the (0, 0)Q1 + P21(33.5) and the (0, 2)O12(5.5) lines offers great sensitivity in the temperature range that is relevant for combustion processes. Excitation is possible by use of a tunable KrF excimer laser on its fundamental (248-nm) and Raman shifted (in H2, 225-nm) wavelengths. An excitation scheme for instantaneous two-line measurements by use of a single laser is developed. The possibility of single-shot measurements is discussed.
