Abstract

See full text

A method of measuring the combustion property in a measurement volume within a casing defined in part by a casing wall. The method includes providing a port in the chamber wall. Also provided is a fiber assembly comprising a single mode transmit core surrounded by a multimode receive core means. The fiber assembly is operatively coupled to the port to provide optical communication between the fiber assembly and measurement volume. A detection beam capable of detecting a select combustion property is transmitted from the single mode fiber and reflected off a reflection surface within the chamber, the reflection surface being configured to reflect and optically couple at least a portion of the detection beam to the multimode receive core means. The detection beam optically coupled to the multimode receive core means is then measured.
