Abstract

The DFWM, used as a laser spectroscopy for gas phase trace detection,is receiving a great deal of attention in combustion diagnostics. In this technique three laser beams, tuned at the same wavelength, interfere in a gaseous medium containing a resonant species. Two laser beams, interacting with the (chi) ₃ of the medium, generate a grating which is read by the third laser and scatters the signal beam at the same wavelength. The NO molecule and OH radical have been detected in small undoped flames by performing space resolved concentration and temperature measurements in forward BOXCARS geometry. The NO space distribution has been investigated in a C₂H₂/air flame by exciting the (gamma) transition around 226 nm. Flame temperature and NO concentration have been calculated after calibration on room temperature cell data. The OH DFWM spectrum of the A²(Sigma) ⁺-X²(Pi) vibrationally excited transition peaked around 284 nm has ben recorded in C₂H₂/air and isobuthane/air flames, corresponding flame temperatures have been determined. The possibility of NO₂ detection in flame outlets has been investigated by studying the effects of collisional energy redistribution on its Douglas-Huber band DFWM spectrum measured in air mixtures at different pressures and temperatures.
