Abstract
A technique for measuring translational flame temperature utilizing the laser induced fluorescence spectrum of OH is demonstrated. The method is based on matching the observed spectrum to a numerical model in which the detailed balance temperature is a parameter. The precision of the method exceeds that of the line reversal technique. Accuracy is limited by the calibration source and the validity of the numerical rotational relaxation rate model.Keywords
