Time multiplexed spectral images of burning aluminum particles from two experiments using a hyperspectral imaging system (HIS) coupled to a high speed video (HSV) camera were investigated. The first experiment looks at ignited aluminum particles generated by a welding torch that were continuously funneled into the imaging plane of the HISHSV system. The HIS was set to hop between two wavelengths at a rate of 300 frames per second (fps): 485.7 nm, the peak emission of aluminum monoxide, and 502.3nm, the bottom of the same emission peak. The second experiment images ignited AlO from the burn of an aluminized ammonium perchlorate solid propellant hoping between the wavelength of 486.3nm and 480.0nm at 2100 fps.
