Laser approaches to combustion diagnostics are of considerable interest due to their remote, nonintrusive and in-situ character, unlimited temperature capability and potential for simultaneous temporal and spatial resolution, This book aims to make these powerful and important new tools in combustion research understandable. The focus of this text is on spectroscopically-based, spatially-precise laser techniques for temperature and chemical composition measurements in reacting and nonreacting flows. After introductory chapters providing a fundamental theoretical and experimental background, attention is directed to diagnostics based upon spontaneous Raman and Rayleigh scattering, coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIFS). The book concludes with a treatment of techniques which permit spatially-resolved measurements over an entire two-dimensional field simultaneously.
