Laser-induced fluorescence of formaldehyde hot bands in flames

Laser-induced fluorescence and excitation spectra of formaldehyde in the A-X 4(1)(0) band at 370 nm are recorded in the primary flame front of a Bunsen flame. An examination of partition functions shows that this excitation can minimize temperature bias for formaldehyde in situ diagnostic measuremen...

Description
Summary:Laser-induced fluorescence and excitation spectra of formaldehyde in the A-X 4(1)(0) band at 370 nm are recorded in the primary flame front of a Bunsen flame. An examination of partition functions shows that this excitation can minimize temperature bias for formaldehyde in situ diagnostic measurements.
