The measurement accuracy of Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy based Tomography (TDLAST) for the temperature and concentration fields are dependant upon the arrangement method of the used laser beams. This paper reports on the optimization of laser beam arrangements using phantom data. It has been verified that the measurement error of the TDLAST decreased with increase of laser beam numbers. Further, it has been confirmed that perpendicular arrangements between the horizontal and the vertical laser beams without additional diagonal laser beams shows the minimum measurement errors.
