The paper presents simultaneous high-speed (7.5 kHz) planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of formaldehyde (CH2O) and the hydroxyl-radical (OH) for visualization of the flame structure and heat release zone in a non-premixed unsteady CH4/O-2/N-2 flame. For this purpose, a dye laser designed for high-speed operation is pumped by the secondharmonic 532 nm output of a Nd: YAG burst-mode laser to produce a tunable, 566 nm beam. After frequency doubling a high-energy kHz-rate narrowband pulse train of approximately 2.2 mJ/pulse at 283 nm is used for excitation of the OH radical. Simultaneously, CH2O is excited by the frequency-tripled output of the same Nd: YAG laser, providing a highfrequency pulse train over 10 ms in duration at high pulse energies (> 100 mJ/pulse). The excitation energies enable signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of similar to 10 and similar to 60 for CH2O and OH PLIF, respectively, using a single high-speed intensified CMOS camera equipped with an image doubler. This allows sufficient SNR for investigation of the temporal evolution of the primary heat release zone and the local flame structure at kHz rates from the spatial overlap of the OH-and CH2O-PLIF signals.
