Abstract
This communication describes and demonstrates an approach to making simultaneous multi-scalar measurements with reduced equipment requirements. Specifically, this letter describes and demonstrates the ability to simultaneously acquire high-quality planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) images of CH2O and either CH, OH, or a combination of CH and OH using a single Nd:YAG-pumped dye-laser system and two intensified cameras. Acquiring these images with common diagnostic equipment was facilitated by exciting strong transitions in the C-X (0,0) band of CH (near 314â¯nm) and in the A-X (0,0) and (1,1) bands of OH, which are spectrally adjacent. Additionally, Rayleigh scattering images were acquired simultaneously with these PLIF images using a second Nd:YAG laser and an un-intensified camera. However, it would be possible to conduct these measurements with a single, sufficiently energetic Nd:YAG laser.
