Submillimetre Laser, Microwave and Spectroscopic Diagnostics of Ionization in Gaseous Plasmas.

Abstract

A numerical analysis of the helium afterglow decay was carried out with a one dimensional cylindrical code programmed such that important parameters could be readily varied to suit experiment. The plasma characteristics of a pulsed HCN laser were studied with line emission spectra showing significant mode compression near the critical density.
