Abstract Rayleigh scattering and planar laser induced predissociative fluorescence are used to obtain 2-D images of total and specific densities inside a combustion bomb. The experimental arrangement is the same for both methods except for the selection of laser wavelength and the filtering of the radiated light. The former method yields a distribution of total densities while the latter provides densities of hot O2, i.e., those with v″=2, J″=17 and 33. Hydrogen-air mixtures of various compositions are used. Because the thermodynamics are well known, a bomb may serve as a reference device for diagnostics for high temperature species, and the results are in accord with calculations. Additional Rayleigh experiments are described which yield a) scattering cross sections at 193 nm, b) a 2-D temperature distribution in a hot air stream, and c) a 2-D temperature distribution, of limited precision, inside the bomb.
