Linearly excited indium fluorescence imaging for temporally resolved high-precision flame thermometry.

Two-line atomic fluorescence (TLAF) is a promising technique for two-dimensional (2D) flame thermometry. However, it suffers either from a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when excited in the linear regime or a quenching effect and nonlinear behavior in the nonlinear regime. This work aims to develop a new TLAF modality, which can overcome the aforementioned limitations based on a specifically designed laser source that can generate long pulses (∼400) with a moderate energy of ∼0.

Simple calibrated nonlinear excitation regime two-line atomic fluorescence thermometry.

Nonlinear excitation regime two-line atomic fluorescence (NTLAF) is a promising two-dimensional (2D) thermometry technique for turbulent sooty flames. However, the complexity of calibrating three system parameters and expensive instruments restricts the application of the current NTLAF technique. Here we propose a simple and cheap NTLAF measurement approach based on a one-parameter model and tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) calibration.
