Abstract
A Langmuir probe incorporated with a boxcar averager is used to measure the temporally and spatially resolved electron density and electron temperature in a UV-photoionization device for several gases and gas mixtures. The predominant ionization mechanism is determined. The data provides information to optimize the effectiveness of the UV preionization operation in high-pressure lasers.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
