Sumario: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 CH<sub>4</sub>/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 N<sub>2</sub> (337 nm) and C<sub>2</sub> (516.5 nm) signals in the filament. This method overcomes the interference of local air disturbance, having lower measurement uncertainty.
