Popis: We investigated changes in emission spectra from nitrogen/argon diluted laminar diffusion acetylene and ethylene blue flames irradiated by a powerful cw infrared CO2 laser. The changes in the radical emission bands can be interpreted as an indication of laser-induced decomposition of ethylene (for laser absorbing C2H4 fuel) and of laser-absorbing intermediates (for non-absorbing C2H2 fuel). The results indicate that released active hydrogen plays an important role in addition/abstraction reactions without any participation of oxygen.
