Abstract

We employ picosecond dual-broadband pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) in a one-dimensional (1D) imaging configuration. Temperature and O2:N2 concentration ratios are measured along a 1D line of up to 12mm in length. The images consist of up to 330 individual rotational CARS (RCARS) spectra, corresponding to 330 spatially resolved volume elements in the probe volume. Signal levels are sufficient for the collection of single-laser-pulse images at temperatures of up to approximately 1200K and shot-averaged images at flame temperatures, demonstrated at 2100K. The precision of picosecond pure-rotational 1D imaging CARS is assessed by acquiring a series of 100 single-laser-pulse images in a heated flow of N2 from 410K1200K and evaluating a single volume element for temperature in each image. Accuracy is demonstrated by comparing temperatures from the evaluated averaged spectra to thermocouple readings in the heated flow. Deviations from the thermocouple of <30K in the evaluated temperature were found at up to 1205K. Accuracy and single-shot precision are compared to those reported for single-point nanosecond dual-broadband pure-RCARS and nanosecond 1D vibrational CARS.
