title: Raman scattering from flames.
abstract: Laser Raman scattering data for nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapor have been obtained from hydrogen-air and hydrogen-oxygen flames. The resulting ground-state and upper-state vibrational bands exhibit strong asymmetrical broadening. Experimental spectral profiles have been fitted theoretically to give a new measurement technique for the determination of rotational and vibrational excitation temperatures.
