Hydrogen plasma diagnostics by resonant multiphoton optogalvanic spectroscopy

  • 1. Bell Telephone Laboratories, Holmdel, New Jersey 07733

Description

Direct pulsed-laser photoionization of neutral atomic hydrogen or deuterium in a discharge plasma is shown to result in large voltage changes across the electrodes. The ground- and excited-state densities and the translational temperature of the H and D atoms within the plasma are probed by this technique
