demonstrated by employing a burst-mode laser with a long-duration pulse of about 70 ns
and pulse energy of about 750 mJ at 532 nm. To avoid optical breakdown, the pulse width of
the laser was varied in the range of 10–1000 ns. The effects of pulse shape, pulse energy,
and harmonic conversion on 2D measurements are also studied. The applications of high-
speed, single-shot, 2D imaging of CH_4 and H_2 jets in N_2 at elevated pressures are …
