Abstract
Laser induced fluorescence of nitric oxide is commonly used for detection of this major pollutant in combustion processes. Mostly, excitation within the A-X (0,0) band is used next to excitation of the D-X (0,1) band. However, for real engine applications strong absorption of the laser beam prevents the application of these schemes. Exciting in the A-X(0,2) band circumvents these problems and allows the sensitive two-dimensional detection of nitric oxide in engines fueled with iso-octane or Diesel fuel.
