We report on an observation of bi-directional 656 nm lasing action of atomic hydrogen in premixed CH4/air flame induced by resonant femtosecond 205 nm two-photon excitation. In particular, the backward-propagating lasing pulse is systematically characterized in the spectral, spatial and temporal domains for the sake of single-ended diagnostic. Its picosecond-scale duration enables spatially resolved concentration measurements of hydrogen atoms in millimeter range, which is successfully demonstrated using two narrow welding flames.
