ABSTRACT

Based on different optical principles, laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), particle imaging velocimetry (PIV), and tunable are reviewed from three aspects: light scattering, optical emission and absorption, and imaging. Testing principles of optical diagnostic technologies such as semiconductor laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), radiation method, remote sensing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (RS-FTIR) and schlieren method, and their use in combustion tests of energetic materials The application progress of optical diagnostic technology in combustion testing is analyzed. The superiority of optical diagnostic technology compared with other traditional contact diagnostic methods and the applicability, measurement objects, advantages and disadvantages of various optical diagnostic methods are analyzed; the microscopic combustion products, flame temperature, The development prospects of testing technologies such as combustion flow field velocity and flame structure in combustion diagnosis of energetic materials; it is pointed out that future work should combine multi-diagnostic methods and develop multi-dimensional measurements to obtain richer and multi-dimensional microscopic data information.
