Abstract

Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) method was applied to the measurement of PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) in a propane diffusion flame. Various PAHs were excited by a KrF excimer laser and a dye-laser pumped by the XeF excimer laser. By measuring the enission spectra of various PAHs vapors, it was found that the peak wavelength in the emission spectrom of LIF shifted to the longer wavelength side with an increase of PAHs carbon numbers. The carbon numbers of PAHs in a diffusion flame was presumed from the data of peak wavelength of emission spectrum. It was confirmed that the carbon numbers of PAHs in the diffusion flame increased as approaching to the flame surface. The maximum carbon number was about 26 at the layer close to the flame surface.
