| Abstract: | Laser-based in situ diagnostic techniques with high temporal, spectral, and spatial resolution have become valuable tools to study the molecular dynamics of gas-phase and heterogeneous reactions as well as complex technical combustion processes. Results of recent experiments will be presented in which laser-induced fluorescence, sum-frequency generation surface vibrational spectroscopy, Rayleigh scattering, excimer laser-induced fragmentation fluorescence, and high-resolution tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy were applied to investigate elementary chemical gas-phase and catalytic combustion reactions, internal combustion engine processes, as well as coal combustion and waste incineration. |
