The use of a thermal equilibrium plasma for combustion control dates back more than a
hundred years to the advent of internal combustion (IC) engines and spark ignition systems …

We present an optical electric field measurement method for use in high pressure plasma
discharges. The method is based upon the field induced second harmonic generation …

Abstract Picosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is used to study
vibrational energy loading and relaxation kinetics in nitrogen and air ns pulsed non …

An integrated theoretical and numerical framework is developed to study the dynamics of
energy coupling, gas heating and generation of active species by repetitively pulsed …

The application of atmospheric-pressure plasmas to human tissue has been shown to have
therapeutic effects for wound healing and in treatment of skin diseases. In this paper, we …

In recent years, new ways of improving the combustion efficiency of fuel during gas turbine
operations have been developed. The most significant has been the application of plasma …

OH Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) and picosecond (ps), broadband Coherent Anti-
Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) are used for time-resolved temperature and time …

Ignition delay time, time-resolved temperature, and time-resolved absolute OH concentration
are measured in mildly preheated H2–air mixtures (T= 473–500K), excited by a repetitive …

Abstract Ignition of preheated (400–500 K) H 2–air mixtures at low pressures (80–100 torr)
excited by pulsed nanosecond dielectric barrier discharges is investigated through …

This work describes the kinetic mechanism of coupled molecular energy transfer and
chemical reactions in low-temperature air, H2–air and hydrocarbon–air plasmas sustained …
