with continuously pulsed systems, but the relatively few number of laser pulses in each burst
has limited the temporal dynamic range of measurements in unsteady flames. A fivefold
increase in the range of timescales that can be resolved by burst-mode laser-based imaging
systems is reported in this work by extending a hybrid diode-and flashlamp-pumped Nd:
YAG-based amplifier system to nearly 1000 pulses at 100 kHz during a 10 ms burst. This …
