Abstract
We have measured the ground‐state population distribution of OH in a flame by detecting the resonance fluorescence excited by a high‐power tunable uv laser beam. This technique provides spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions which are not possible with absorption measurements involving conventional light sources. It should prove particularly valuable in studying the dynamics of combustion.Keywords
