Laser-induced fluorescence of CN in solid propellant flames

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6292530
This paper discusses the application of laser-induced fluorescence of the CN radical as a combustion diagnostic probe for solid propellant flames at pressure up to 3.5 MPa. The key to mitigating severe interference from Mie scattering and other laser-induced effects is that the observed fluorescence wavelength in the CN 0,0 band is well removed spectrally from the laser wavelength (coinciding with the CN 0,1 bandhead).
