We experimentally investigated clean optical emissions from multiple combustion intermediates including free radicals C2, CH, and CN at multiple wavelengths induced by ultrashort 1,030-nm laser pulses. We systematically study the evolution of the fluorescence emissions induced by the femtosecond laser filament in the combustion field with the parameters such as the laser pulse energy, pulse duration, and focal length. Compared with the previous work, we promote that the fluorescence emissions of the combustion product can be manipulated effectively by controlling the femtosecond laser characteristics including pulse energy, duration, and the focusing conditions. This process helps to optimize its signal-to-noise ratio, which provides a further application of the femtosecond laser pulses to sense the combustion intermediates.
