摘要
Laser-induced fluorescence has been observed form the formaldehyde A1A2-X1A1 electronic transition in a well characterized, laminar methane/air diffusion flame burning at atmospheric pressure. This represents the first optical measurement in flames of naturally occurring formaldehyde, an important intermediate in the oxidation of hydrocarbons. Both 355 nm and tunable dye laser excitation of fluorescence are demonstrated. The observed fluorescence signals are corrected for partition function effects and for estimated collisional quenching rates to obtain relative concentration profiles.
