Abstract
The use of stationary light pipes and a stationary detector to measure light decay along a tube in a steady state flow system is described. This method exhibits a number of advantages over that of moving the detector. A means of calibrating the transmission of the light pipes in situ by using the properties of the yellow nitrogen afterglow is discussed. The high degree of spatial resolution achievable by this technique should make it especially suitable for studies of small flames and discharges.
