Abstract

Two time-division-multiplexed (TDM) sources based on fiber Bragg gratings were applied to monitor gas temperature, H2O mole fraction, and CH4 mole fraction using line-of-sight absorption spectroscopy in a practical high-pressure gas turbine combustor test article. Collectively, the two sources cycle through 14 wavelengths in the 13291667nm range every 33μs. Although it is based on absorption spectroscopy, this sensing technology is fundamentally different from typical diode-laser-based absorption sensors and has many advantages. Specifically, the TDM lasers allow efficient, flexible acquisition of discrete- wavelength information over a wide spectral range at very high speeds (typically 30kHz) and thereby provide a multiplicity of precise data at high speeds. For the present gas turbine application, the TDM source wavelengths were chosen using simulated temperature-difference spectra. This approach is used to select TDM wavelengths that are near the optimum values for precise temperature and species- concentration measurements. The application of TDM lasers for other measurements in high-pressure, turbulent reacting flows and for two-dimensional tomographic reconstruction of the temperature and species-concentration fields is also forecast.
