Multi-color CARS for multi-species combustion measurements

Alan C. Eckbreth

Anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) has been accorded considerable emphasis due to its strong signal levels and coherent character. The applicability of CARS to instrumentally-adverse situations typical of practical combustion devices is, by now, well established. CARS has seen use in gas turbines, diesels, furnaces, and a myriad of other real-world devices. more>>
