Recently particulate matter (PM) emission regulations are becoming more strict for diesel engines. There is increasing interest for measuring not only concentration but also size of the particles. Laser-induced incandescence (LⅡ) has emerged as a promising technique for measuring particle volume traction and size. In this study, the Simple TIRE-LⅡ(Simple Time Resolved-LⅡ) method was applied to diesel engine exhaust for measuring PM primary particle size. The panicle size data from LⅡ technique were calibrated using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) photographs. In diesel engine experiments for particle size measurement, results from LⅡ measurement are in a good agreement with those from TEM photograph, and difference between two measurements was less than 16%.
