Abstract
Diagnostic measurements on uv photogenerated laser plasmas are presented. Ionization data obtained with an X‐band microwave interferometer show plasma density to be a function of both the gas mix and the irradiation source parameters. Electron density as a function of pressure is given for selected gases and mixtures. At atmospheric pressure the photoplasma density in the standard CO2 laser mix is found to be surprisingly low.Keywords
