Characteristics of a non-equilibrium picosecond laser plasma

Creators

  • 1. Univ. of Illinois, Chicago (USA)

Description

VUV spectra of a highly ionized argon plasma produced by a high-power subpicosecond laser are analyzed to determine the electron temperature. The calculated electron temperature is too low to support the highest observed charge state, showing the plasma charge state distribution to be out of Saha equilibrium. 16 refs., 6 figs
