demonstrated in laminar and turbulent hydrogen-air diffusion flames with pulse repetition
rates up to 50 kHz. Nearly 1 mJ/pulse at 313.526 nm is used to probe the OH P_2 (10)
rotational transition in the (0, 0) band of the AX system. The UV radiation is generated by a
high-speed-tunable, injection-seeded optical parametric oscillator pumped by a frequency-
doubled megahertz-rate burst-mode Nd: YAG laser. Preliminary kilohertz-rate wavelength …
