Abstract
A holographic two-wavelength interferometer is developed to measure distributions of temperature and fuel vapor concentration in the gas phase from CO2 laser irradiation on a horizontally mounted PMMA surface up to ignition. The technique used in this study is combined with a high-speed movie camera (500 frames/sec) to clarify the time-dependent phenomena.
