CH3 photo-fragmentation laser-induced fluorescence for turbulent flame diagnosis
We describe development and application of the CH3 photo-fragmentation laser-induced fluorescence (PF-LIF) diagnostic whereby CH is created and then detected. Specifically, we employed sum-frequency generation to produce 5th-harmonic output from a Nd:YAG laser (λ = 212.8 nm) for photolyzing CH3. The residual 2nd-harmonic beam was then used to pump a dye laser, the output of which was frequency-dou
