Contents

The aim of the course is to provide a fundamental understanding (based on physics) of the potential for laser-based techniques to non-intrusively measure parameters such as species concentrations, flow fields, particles and temperatures in different processes. Of central importance is interaction between radiation and matter, lasers and their characteristics, optics, optical measurement techniques, molecular physics connected to energy related applications such as combustion, plasma and catalysis. The unique information that can be obtained from these processes using laser and optical techniques can together with advanced modelling lead to improved detailed knowledge. Such understanding is highly important to improve efficiency, save energy and decrease harmful emissions. This is of global importance since about 90% of the energy usage in the world can be related to combustion processes, more than 80% of all chemicals are produced via catalytic steps and plasma may aid both but is also used in for e.g. nanofabrication.
