Advanced, High-Resolution Spectroscopy Suite for Nonequilibrium Plasmas Near Surfaces
Abstract
Light emission is central to the study of a wide range of multiscale plasma phenomena. We propose to greatly enhance the capabilities of UNM with a request for a suite of equipment which will allow the intense light emission associated with the non-equilibrium plasma to be measured simultaneously along with the density gradient behind the light emission. By connecting a range of plasma diagnostics such as spectroscopy and laser schlieren with our existing capabilities in optical and correlated electrical diagnostics, a wide range of first class research problems can be addressed. This in turn will attract quality graduate students. Our educational plan uses graduate students to teach undergraduate Òtechnical specialistsÓ for the benefit of both. Lastly, the spectroscopy suite will be used in the development of an advanced instrumentation course geared toward high power electromagnetics and transient plasma phenomena.
