Laser Ignition INTRODUCTION:

An alternative solution to standard spark plug is the use of pulsed laser, focused to create plasma, representing the laser ignition. Laser ignition, or laser-induced ignition, is the process of starting combustion by the stimulus of a laser light source. Spark creation due to the local deposition of energy Ignition itself based on a positive balance between the deposited energy and the losses INTRODUCTION

The main aims of the research shown in this paper are to investigate the effects of laser parameters on LI and assess the performance of LI against conventional SI . This is achieved by examining the engines combustion stability in terms of cycle to cycle variation (CCV), in two cylinders (one ignited by a conventional spark plug and the other by an laser beam.

CONCLUSION:
Plasma propagates towards the incoming laser beam Plasma had the maximum emission peak 30 ns after the laser was fired and laser plasma UV-emission persisted for about 80 ns Minimum laser pulse energy (MPE) for ignition is decreases with increasing initial pressure The time of pressure rise in case of laser ignition is shorter than the spark ignition CONCLUSION
