title = "High-speed thermometry in reacting flows using hybrid fs/ps CARS",
abstract = "Hybrid femtosecond/picosecond (fs/ps) coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) is demonstrated for high-speed thermometry in unsteady high-temperature flames, including successful comparisons with a time- and frequency-resolved theoretical model. After excitation of the N2 vibrational manifold with 100-fs broadband pump and Stokes beams, the Raman coherence is probed using a frequency-narrowed 2.5-ps probe beam that is time delayed to suppress nonresonant background by two orders of magnitude. Experimental spectra were obtained at 500 Hz in steady and pulsed H2-air flames and exhibit a temperature precision of 2.2\% and an accuracy of 3.3\% up to 2400 K. Strategies for real-time gas-phase thermometry in high-temperature flames are also discussed, along with implications for kHz-rate measurements in practical combustion systems.",
