Control of soot emission raises fundamental issues and has important practical implications requiring a full understanding of soot production and oxidation processes. The research reported in the present paper intends to contribute to the studies carried out within the frame of the International Sooting Flame workshop (ISF) on laminar sooting flames. The objective is to identify and quantify sources of experimental errors and to extend the existing database for the Yale laminar diffusion burner flame. This will especially enable more comprehensive comparisons among different experimental techniques and numerical simulations. To this end, a combined use of Modulated Absorption/Emission (MAE) and Laser Induced Incandescence (LII) techniques is presented in this work. Results are compared with already existing experimental data in terms of soot volume fraction, soot temperature and primary particle size distribution, highlighting the high variability of the experimental data depending on the measurement techniques as
