An in-cylinder optical sensor has been developed and tested for use in spark-ignition engine combustion analysis and control. This sensor measures the luminous emission in the near infrared region. Results of these tests show good correlation between the measured luminosity and traditional combustion parameters, such as location and magnitude of maximum cylinder pressure, and location and magnitude of maximum heat release. These results are discussed in this paper.
