Abstract
AbstractMany applications require diagnostics that can quantify the distribution of chemical gas species and gas temperature along a single line-of-sight, which is challenging in process environments with limited optical access. To this end, we present an approach that combines time-of-flight Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) with Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) to scan individual gas molecular transition lines. This method is applicable in situations where scattering objects are distributed along the beam path, such as solid fuel combustion, or when dealing with multiple gas volumes separated by weakly reflecting windows. The approach is demonstrated through simulation studies and an initial experimental proof of concept for separated gas volumes.
