A. Stampanonipanariello et al., TEMPERATURE-MEASUREMENTS IN GASES USING LASER-INDUCED ELECTROSTRICTIVE GRATINGS, Applied physics. B, Lasers and optics, 67(1), 1998, pp. 125-130
We used time-resolved light scattering from electrostrictive gratings
for the determination of temperatures in gases at atmospheric pressure
. The infrared radiation from a pulsed Nd:YAG laser generates the grat
ing and the beam of a cw laser reads it out. We evaluated this techniq
ue by measurements in a tube furnace for temperatures up to 1370 K. Fu
rthermore temperature determinations are carried out in premixed metha
ne/air and carbon monoxide/oxygen flames.
