Robert P. Lucht's research develops and applies advanced laser-based diagnostic techniques, such as coherent Raman scattering and laser-induced fluorescence, to measure temperature, chemical composition, and flame structure inside combustion systems. His work supports engineering applications including hydrogen and ammonia-fueled engines, rocket combustors, ramjets, and hypersonic flight testing. This is experimental engineering research focused on developing precise optical measurement tools for harsh, high-pressure, and high-speed reacting flow environments.
