MEASUREMENT OF THE ELECTRON TEMPERATURE OF A PLASMA FROM THE SCATTERING OF LASER EMISSION (IZMERENIE ELEKTRONNOI TEMPERATURY PLAZMY PO RASSEYANIYU IZLUCHENIYA LAZERA0,
Abstract
The authors used a laser beam to measure the electron temperature in a setup in which the plasma was produced by a rotating high-frequency dipole at 2.45 MHz in a quasistationary field of mirror configuration. The vacuum chamber was a glass tube 50 mm in dia. and 1000 mm long. The spectrum of the plotted radiation was measured point by point and the electron temperature was calculated from the smoothed spectrum. From the presence of a shift in the scattered radiation relative to the incident radiation it is deduced that the electrons move axially with high velocity. The reason for this phenomenon, and also the details of the fine structure of the scattered radiation, are still unclear.
