Online Raman spectroscopy for quantitative detection and characterization of aerosolized soot
Ex-situ Raman spectroscopy is a well-established method for the structural characterization of soot but necessitates a sampling step before analysis is made. This work studied the potential to perform Raman spectroscopic measurements of soot directly in the combustion exhaust gases, i.e., online Raman measurements. Two types of soot were produced from a Mini-CAST soot generator, one immature with
