Electron Density and Temperature Diagnostic of Laser Created Titanium Plasma

Abstract

In this contribution we present time and space evolution of plasma parameters during ablation of titanium target in vacuum and at low nitrogen pressure using KrF laser. Electron density is measured from Stark Broadening of singly ionized species; electron temperature is determined from Boltzmann plot of lines intensities of the same species.
