An experimental study on LII signal images from soot particles in a flame has been carried out in order to investigate the effect of the incident laser characteristics. By changing the wavelength of the incident laser beam, the LII signal was saturated at smaller laser power with 532 nm than 1,064 nm. This implies that the larger absorption coefficient of soot particles at 532 nm would influence the LII signal characteristic. Using the deconvolution technique, the projected LII line images were coverted to reconstruct the local LII signals inside the beam. The results show that the LII images at ICCD camera result from the integration of LII signal across the laser beam.

A new measurement technique based on a two-color pyrometry and modulated LII signals to measure local soot particle temperatures has been proposed and examined experimentally. The theoretical review suggests that modulated LII signals of soot particles is suitable for a two-color pyrometry as long as the temperature increase due to laser heating remains relatively small. The modulated LII signals from ethylene and propylene diffusion flames were simultaneously measured at 550 and 750 nm by a dual measurement system that consists of optical fibers, PMT and lock-in amps. The local soot particle temperatures of diffusion flames could be obtained using a two-color pyrometry and modulated LII signal based new technique.

The distribution of volume fraction, mean diameter and number density of soot particles are measured quantitatively in a co-flow ethylene diffusion flame using a simultaneous LII/LIS measurement technique. The LII/LIS system and the measured values are, respectively, calibrated and evaluated by comparing to the informations obtained from laser light. extinction/scattering experiments, LII signal shows some sensitivity to the laser light intensity when laser power density exceeds a certain value(threshold). It is also found that there is an optimal laser intensity and a delay time in order to obtain the best result using the simultaneous LII/LIS measurement technique.

Laser-induced incandescence (LII) 측정법은 조사된 레이저에 의하여 입자가 가열됨에 따라서, 그 온도에 상응하는 흑체복사의 시간적 감소추이가 입자의 크기에 따라서 달리 나타나는 것을 이용하여 입자의 크기를 측정하는 방법이다. LII 감쇄법은 레이저에 의하여 가열된 입자의 에너지 균형 상관식에서 입자의 크기가 클수록 신호의 감쇄속도가 느리고, LII 신호의 감쇄비가 실험적으로 입자의 크기에 비례한다는 사실을 이용하여 연소진단에 응용되어 왔다. (중략)

The modulated LII technique has been suggested for the measurement of axial velocity profiles of laminar diffusion flames. The theoretical background is explained based on the blackbody radiation and LII signal. Experimentally, soot particles in ethylene diffusion flames are heated by a modulated Ar-ion laser beam. LII signals and their phase angles are measured using a lock-in amplifier at the different flame heights and the axial flow velocities are obtained from the measured phase angle delay informations. The measured velocities are similar to those from LDV measurements under the same operating conditions. The effects of laser power, LII signal wavelength, and modulation frequencies are not sensitive to the velocity measurement. However, the choice of an optical chopper blade type could affect the measurement result. The use of a 6/5 chopper blade showed the better result that is. possibly due to the square shape of modulated laser beam. This study successfully demonstrated that axial flow velocities of laminar diffusion flames can be measured by a new technique utilizing LII signal, which does not need particle seeding unlikely to LDV or PIV techniques.

Laser induced incandescence, LII, recently developed technique for measuring soot concentration in flames, can overcome most of limitations of conventional laser extinction measurement. In this study, experiments were performed to investigate the effect of laser intensity, detection wavelength, and also laser beam quality on both LII signal at a particular position and peak-to-centerline LII signal ratio. The results of LII signal with increasing laser intensity shows its near-independence of laser intensity once threshold level of laser intensity has been reached. However, this near-independence depends on laser beam quality and the incident optical setup. The peak-to-centerline LII signal ratio slowly but continuously increases with laser power. This fact is due to the dependence of LII signal on particle mean diameter. LII signal is attenuated during it passes through the flame containing soot particles. The attenuation rate is inversely proportional to detection wavelength. In this study, LII signal at 680 nm band is 10% greater than the signal at 400 nm band.

In this study, the quantification of soot particles in laminar diffusion flame with LII/LIS methods was performed. In these quantification, soot diameter, number density and volume fraction are included. For the quatification of soot particles, calibration tests are needed and the development of algorithm has to be performed. So, in this study, extinction and scattering test at co-flow burner were performed to acquire calibration data. And algorithm for LII/LIS simultaneous measurement for the quantification of soot were developed. The algorithm, which was the quantification of simultaneous photographing using one ICCD camera, to measure LII/LIS signal simultaneously, the best fitted light intensity and acquisition time was needed.

The TIER-LII system was established and evaluated using carbon black for diesel particulate size measurement. It contains a new designed sensor head which makes it easier to be measured. Through LII signal analysis of some parameters, we can understand that there were few correlations observed in effect of temperature, shield gas flow rate, and mixture flow rate.. However, an amount of difference was observed in different size of particulates.

The effect of LII interference on the measurement of LIF signals from PAH in a diffusion flame has been investigated. Argon-ion laser at 488 nm was vertically or horizontally polarized, and irradiated to the centerline of the flame at varying flame height. Signals from PAH-rich regions measured at 515 nm were mostly LIF signals, however, signals from soot-rich regions were determined to be mixed with Mie scattering signals and/or LII signals. Signals measured 1 mm above the excitation height were mostly LII signals from soot particles. The results show that a quantitative determination of the LIF's contribution to the measured signals would be difficult as long as the experimental setup described here is used for the regions where PAHs and soot particles exist together.
