Research Abstract	The reduction of soot concentration in flames is tried by the irradiation of microwave. The soot volume concentration and the diameter of soot particles in the flame are measured by the laser diagnostics, and the effects of irradiation of microwave on the soot formation process are discussed. As results, it is observed that the about 20% reduction of soot volume concentration in maximum is occurred. On the other hand, the diameter of soot particle is little affected by the irradiation of microwave.
