Abstract Planar laser induced fluorescence imaging (PLIF) is shown to be a quantitative method of measuring average values, rms fluctuations, and probability density functions of OH concentration in laboratory scale, H2-air diffusion flames. When compared with single-pulse laser saturated fluorescence (LSF) data, PLIF data show agreement (within a factor of two) for average and rms values in laminar, transitional, and turbulent flames. The unknown temperature dependence of the H2 quenching cross section introduces a factor of two uncertainty in PLIF measurements in rich flame zones. Extensions of PLIF to other molecules and other combustion systems are discussed.
