Abstract
By using two-colour laser-induced-grating spectroscopy (TC-LIGS), we o bserved the third-overtone spectrum of the O-H stretch of water vapour at a point in a stoichiometric CH4-air flame. We also demonstrated th e extension of these point measurements to a line image in a flame. On ly thermal gratings could be observed. The reasons for this and the di fficulties in making a practical combustion diagnostic are discussed.
