ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine is provided having a luminosity detector and an arrangement for adjusting the parameters of the engine in response to sensed combustion conditions within the combustion chamber based on particular gain independent parameters of the luminosity signal. The gain independent luminosity parameters can also be used to obtain uniform combustion conditions from cycle to cycle in a given combustion chamber and uniform combustion in the combustion chambers of multi chamber engine.
