Temperature imaging in low-pressure flames using diode laser two-line atomic fluorescence employing a novel indium seeding technique
(2016) In Applied Physics B 122(3).- Abstract
The use of diode lasers for spatially resolved temperature imaging is demonstrated in low-pressure premixed methane–air flames using two-line atomic fluorescence of seeded indium atoms. This work features the advantages of using compact diode lasers as the excitation sources with the benefits of two-dimensional planar imaging, which is normally only performed with high-power pulsed lasers. A versatile and reliable seeding technique with minimal impact on flame properties is used to introduce indium atoms into the combustion environment for a wide range of flame equivalence ratios. A spatial resolution of around 210 µm for this calibration-free thermometry technique is achieved for three equivalence ratios at a pressure of 50 mbar in a... (More)
