Results of various studies on propane- and acetylene-fueled flames utilizing the laboratory CARS system at the AFWAL Aero Propulsion Laboratory are reported. The burner built for these studies was especially adapted for flame seeding and stability. The studies conducted include: (1) a comparison of sodium-line-reversal utilizing CARS single-shot thermometry, (2) temperature profiling of the acetylene- and propane-fueled flames, (3) referencing-scheme studies for number density determinations, (4) an oxygen study of the flame with background suppression, and (5) simultaneous single-shot measurements of number density and temperature on the propane-fueled flame.
