Femtosecond lasers have been used in combustion diagnostics. Based on the characteristics of femtosecond laser filamentation, many diagnostic techniques have been developed. Here, we propose a method, based on femtosecond laser filamentation, for equivalence ratio measurements in CH4/air gases. By measuring the spatially resolved spectra of the femtosecond laser-induced filament, we found that the variation of the equivalence ratio in the flow field would affect the spatial distribution of the emission intensity of femtosecond laser-induced filament. On this basis, the equivalence ratio was calibrated by using the relative spatial positions of N2 (337 nm) and C2 (516.5 nm) signals in the filament. This method overcomes the interference of local air disturbance, having lower measurement uncertainty.
