Our laboratory focuses on measuring key parameters in combustion and spectroscopy. We compile a high-temperature spectral database and measure ignition delay times.
Ignition Delay Time (IDT) is the time between fuel exposure to heat and pressure and the start of combustion. It's a key factor in understanding how fuels react, helping improve engine performance, efficiency, and emissions control.
Absorption Cross Section is a quantitative measure of the probability that a photon will be absorbed by a molecule or atom when light interacts with a gas. It represents the effective area that a molecule presents for absorption at a given wavelength and is typically expressed in units of area (cm²/molecule).
Spectral Parameters are the quantitative values that define the interaction of light with matter, particularly in terms of absorption, emission, or scattering across different wavelengths. These parameters include line strength (intensity), line position (frequency or wavelength), line width (broadening), and line shape.
