This report describes work accomplished in the last three years on measurement of species concentrations in flames via laser-induced fluorescence. During this period, we have conducted laser-saturated fluorescence (LSF) measurements of OH and NH concentration, developed a new calibration scheme for LSF that accounts for nonuniform laser illumination, initiated work on two-photon-excited measurements of hydrogen atoms, developed a method for analyzing mixtures of vaporous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and initiated the development of a temperature probe using the anomalous fluorescence of pyrene. 18 refs., 9 figs., 1 tab.
