Development of CO2-O2 CARS thermometry and concentration measurements for applied flame diagnostics

In this M.Sc. thesis project a model is developed and validated that simulates the coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) signal of CO₂ and O₂ in the spectral region between 1250cm^-1 and 1680cm^-1. The aim is to perform temperature and concentration measurements in a typical hydrocarbon-air...
