International audienceThe scope of this paper concerns the heating process of fuel droplets injected in a hot gaseous environment. The two colors laser-induced fluorescence technique allows measuring the temperature distribution within a droplet by scanning the droplet volume by a sufficiently small probe volume compared to the droplet volume itself. The temperature field is reconstructed using two approaches which have been compared. One is based on a geometrical optics model and the other is based on the 3D calculation of the internal excitation field within the droplet, using the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory. Experimental results have been obtained on a combusting monodisperse ethanol droplet stream (diameter around 200 lm)
