Description

Laser-based diagnostic methods are developed for the investigation of the behavior of a flashover-type magnetically insulated, pulsed-ion source. The effects of neutral particles on the diode characteristics are examined with laser resonant interferometry. For the quantitative estimation of the particle density, a laser resonance scattering method is also applied. These techniques could allow direct determination of the particle distribution in the diode gap
