Temperature and oxygen measurements in a metallized propellant flame by hybrid fs/ps rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering

Kearney, S.P.; Guildenbecher, Daniel R.

Ultrafast pure-rotational CARS is applied to an aluminized ammonium-perchlorate propellant flame. Background-free spectra were acquired in this challenging high-temperature, particle-laden environment and successfully fit for temperature and oxygen/nitrogen ratio using a simple theoretical model.
