✦ Synopsis
Direct measurements are reported of the NO( A *Z +, u' = O-X ZfI) fluorescence lifetime in premixed atmospheric flames, using a picosecond distributed feedback dye laser for excitation. A new version of the distributed oscillator has been designed to allow more convenient tuning of the dye laser. For the NO lifetimes, an average value of 1.7 + 0.3 ns was ohtained in low concentration methane/nitrous oxide flames while in rich methane/air flames doped with l-296 NO, the average value was 1.5 f 0.2 ns.
