Nonresonant referenced laser-induced thermal acoustics thermometry in air

Abstract

We report a detailed investigation of nonresonant laser-induced thermal acoustics (LITA) for the single-shot measurement of the speed of sound (v S) in an oven containing room air. A model for the speed of sound that includes important acoustic relaxation effects is used to convert the speed of sound into temperature. A reference LITA channel is used to reduce uncertainties in v S. Comparing thermocouple temperatures with temperatures deduced from our v S measurements and model, we find the mean temperature difference from 300 to 650 K to be 1% (±2σ). The advantages of using a reference LITA channel are discussed.
