Carbon atom fluorescence and C2 emission detected in fuel-rich flames using a UV laser

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Laser-induced fluorescence from carbon atoms, excited at the two-photon resonances around 280 nm, has been detected in fuel-rich hydrocarbon flames together with Swan band emission from the C2 radical, which was non-resonantly excited at the same wavelengths. The emission from the C atom and from the C2 molecule exhibited several similarities, indicating a possible common photo-chemical origin.
