The Electron Density and Temperature in the Photoionized Background Gas (N2) Surrounding a Laser Produced Plasma.

Abstract

A scheme is presented for the determination of the electron density and temperature in a background gas surrounding a laser produced plasma. The background gas (N2) is photoionized by the ionizing radiation from the laser produced plasma. Band intensities of 3914A and 3371A from N2(+) and N2 are utilized for the determination of the state of the background plasma. (Author)
