ABSTRACT:
A novel laser beam deflection system and method for temperature measurement of combustion flames of known composition is described which comprises a thin wire for placement at a predetermined location within the flame; a pulsed laser source for directing a pulsed beam onto the wire for heating the wire and immediately surrounding gases of the flame to produce an acoustic pulse in the flame; a pair of probe laser sources for directing parallel probe beams through the flame in predetermined spaced relationship to each other and to the wire, and a pair of detectors and associated electronics for detecting the respective deflections of the probe beams resulting from interactions with the pulse and measuring the time difference between respective deflections of the probe beams to determine the speed of the acoustic pulse through the flame and the temperature of the flame from the speed determination.
