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

The demands on the quality of velocity, concentration and temperature data from turbulent
combustion systems for comparison with numerical predictions are rising with the increasing …

The editors have assembled a world-class group of contributors who address the questions
the combustion diagnostic community faces. They are chemists who identify the species to …

A hybrid fs/ps pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) scheme is
systematically evaluated over a wide range of flame conditions in the product gases of two …

Gaining information of species, temperature, and velocity distributions in turbulent
combustion and high-speed reactive flows is challenging, particularly for conducting …

This manuscript describes the wide variety of optical measurement techniques for
characterizing the flow in hypersonic wind tunnels. The introduction briefly describes …

A strategy for a comprehensive description of soot sizes and concentrations is described,
which relies on various two-dimensional techniques based on laser-induced incandescence …

The general influence of electric fields on flames has been known for many years, the
underlying mechanisms, however, are not finally identified yet. The changes observable in …

The determination of temperature distribution is an essential task when flames are
characterized. We propose a new approach for flame thermometry based on laser-induced …

We demonstrate an approach for picosecond probe-beam generation that enables hybrid
femtosecond/picosecond pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) …
