A method for performing high accuracy temperature measurements in low-pressure sooting flames using two-line atomic fluorescence

This paper reports on atomic-fluorescence temperature measurements with unprecedented accuracy, providing vital data for understanding soot formation in flames. A leading research group at Lund University has built a diode laser instrument directly based on the one we developed in this work (marcus.alden@forbrf.lth.se).  Researchers at the University of Adelaide followed up on our work and state that our research resulted in “…calibration-free single-point measurements with higher accuracy and precision than that achievable with dye lasers…” (DOI:10.1007/s00340-011-4497-0). This is one of three publications supporting the case for award of an EPSRC SUPERGEN grant on direct flame solid oxide fuel cells (EP/K021036/1).
