Diode laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy for combustion thermometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the first use of novel blue diode lasers to make temperature measurements based on fluorescence. As a demonstration of this principle, indium atoms were seeded as a probe species into flames and the resulting diode laser induced fluorescence allowed an accurate determination of the temperature at a point. This permits spatially resolved measurements to be made, which are impossible to achieve using the established absorption based sensors. The technique opens up a range of application possibilities in dynamic and inhomogeneous reacting flows.

A thermometry technique based on atomic lineshapes using diode laser LIF in flames
We report on the development of a novel diode laser thermometry technique permitting temperature measurements in flames based on the fluorescence lineshapes of an atomic tracer species. The technique, which we term OLAF (one-line atomic fluorescence) requires only a single diode laser source for excitation, is simple to implement, and has excellent spatial resolution. Temperatures are deduced f...

متن کاملTwo-line atomic fluorescence flame thermometry using diode lasers
This paper reports on the first application of diode laser based LIF for pointwise temperature measurements in flames. The technique is based on two-line atomic fluorescence (TLAF) thermometry of indium atoms seeded at trace levels into the flame. Two novel extended cavity diode laser systems (ECDLs) were developed, providing tunable single-mode radiation around 410 and 451 nm, respectively, to...
متن کاملApplications and evaluation of two-line atomic LIF thermometry in sooting combustion environments
Temperature measurements using planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) are most often associated with experimental challenges. In addition, no PLIF technique is generally applicable in all kinds of environment. Especially under sooting conditions problems are prone to arise, which limits the use of these techniques. In this paper the two-line atomic fluorescence (TLAF) technique was investigat...

We demonstrate a step change in the capability of diode laser excited two-line atomic fluorescence (TLAF) thermometry and show it is well-suited to the study of low-pressure sooting flames. The new developments to the technique reported here were essential to achieve the accuracy (±41 K) and precision (±8 K) required for useful measurements in such systems. This represents the first application...
