Generation and Diagnostics of Super-Ionized Air Plasmas

Abstract

This grant has permitted the acquisition of instrumentation to produce and study super-ionized air plasmas present grant allowed acquisition of the instrumentation necessary to experimentally demonstrate large power budget reductions. The instrumentation acquired with this grant comprises a repetitive pulse generator (100 kHz, 12 kv, 10 ns), a fast intensified CCD camera for optical diagnostics of the pulsed discharge, a fast sampling oscilloscope for electrical diagnostics of the discharge, and a high current, high voltage DC power supply to study the scalability of discharge plasmas to larger volumes.
