PLASMA SPECIE PROBE TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
A novel plasma diagnostic technique is presented which utilizes the Raman scattering of a laser beam from a plasma. Detection of the Raman scattering will provide qualitative information on the molecular and ionic species present in a plasma. By measuring the relative intensities of the Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman lines a determination can be made of the density and temperature of the individual species present in a plasma. A summary of the theory correlating the Raman intensity with the specie density and temperature is presented along with experimental results on the detection of Raman scattering. A summary is also presented on the state-of-the-art of Thomson scattering experiments. (Author)
