Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy is widely used for measuring
temperature and species concentration in reacting flows. This paper reviews the advances …

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) has become a proven method of
rapid gas diagnostics. In the present review an overview of the state of the art of TDL-based …

Spontaneous Raman scattering measurements of temperature and major species
concentration in hydrocarbon-air flames require detailed knowledge of the Raman spectra of …

We apply ultrafast pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) for
temperature and relative oxygen concentration measurements in the plume emanating from …

Most commercial gaseous and liquid fuels are mixtures of multiple chemical compounds. In
recent years, these mixtures became even more complicated when the suppliers started to …

We report on the application of simultaneous single-shot imaging of CH and OH radicals
using planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) to investigate partially premixed turbulent jet …

We employ dual-probe one-dimensional (1D) femtosecond (fs)/picosecond (ps) hybrid
rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (HRCARS) to investigate simultaneous …

A hybrid fs/ps pure-rotational CARS scheme is characterized in furnace-heated air at
temperatures from 290 to 800 K. Impulsive femtosecond excitation is used to prepare a …

A sensor system for fast analysis of synthesis gas (mixtures of CO and H 2) is proposed and
characterized. The system is based on spontaneous Raman scattering, which enables …

As part of a broader effort to provide detailed measurements of turbulent flames in dual-
mode scramjets, promote a deeper understanding of the relevant combustion physics, and …
