title: Time-resolved two-photon-excited fluorescence detection of atomic hydrogen in flames.
abstract: We describe time-resolved fluorescence decay measurements of atomic hydrogen in 20-Torr flames using twophoton, 205-nm excitation with 50-psec laser pulses. These studies provide measurements of the variations in collisional quenching rates of hydrogen atoms measured directly in combustion environments.
