TDLAS-based photofragmentation spectroscopy for detection of K and KOH in flames under optically thick conditions.

Photofragmentation spectroscopy is combined with tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy to measure the line shape of the fragment species. This provides flexibility in choosing the UV pulse location within the line shape and accurate quantification of both target species and background fragment concentrations, even under optically thick conditions. The technique is demonstrated by detection of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and atomic potassium K(g) above solid KOH converted in a premixed methane-air flat flame. Time series of KOH(g) and K(g) concentrations are recorded as a function of solid KOH mass and flame stoichiometry. The total substance released during the conversion is in good agreement with the initial solid KOH mass. Under fuel-rich conditions, increased K(g) concentrations at the expense of KOH(g) are observed compared to thermodynamic equilibrium.
