Abstract

A method for the calibration of OH temperature measurements using laser-induced fluorescence is demonstrated. The technique depends on the thermal dissociation of water vapor in a furnace. The calibration was demonstrated for the excitation of theA 2 Σ +(υ′ = 3) −Χ 2 ∏(υ″ = 0) band with a tunable KrF laser. Consistent discrepancies of 3% between calculated and measured temperatures with a standard deviation of 8 % were observed.
