Abstract

The principle of multiplex degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) is demonstrated by recording, with a single laser shot, DFWM signals from both D lines of atomic sodium in a seeded flame. Applications of the technique for single-shot temperature measurements for combustion diagnostics are discussed.
