Abstract
Imaging errors in spatially resolved measurements using laser scattering techniques in flames are discussed. An experimental method based on Fourier deconvolution to correct the measurements for the imaging errors is presented. The method is especially important when large gradients are recorded with lowf-number lenses in order to obtain a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio. The technique is demonstrated experimentally on OH profiles measured by laser-induced fluorescence in an atmospheric acetylen-oxygen flame.
