Non-intrusive Measurement of Axial Electric Fields in Low-pressure Glow Discharges by Velocity Modulation Laser Spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
High resolution (Doppler-resolved) measurement of Doppler-shifted ion absorption frequencies allows the determination of the electric field responsible for the shift. A new method based on velocity modulation laser spectroscopy is described for the nonperturbative measurement of the axial electric fields in glow discharges. The A ‘n, + X I&+ (4.0 ) band of NT has heen used as a probe of a He/N, discharge. Half-wave rectification of a sine-wave-driven discharge allows observation of Doppler shifts in the Ion transition frequencies since the ions are traveling in only one direction with respect to the laser wavevector. Electric fields and E/N values have been measured at pressures from 3 to I 1 Torr. Fields in the range of loI5 V/cm were observed.

Spatiotemporal electron dynamics in radio-frequency glow discharges: fluid versus dynamic Monte Carlo simulations
A particle-in cellldynamic Monte Carto simulation technique was developed to study the spatiotemporal electron dynamics in radio-frequency glow discharges. The electric field profile in a parallel plate one-dimensional geometly was obtained from a self-consistent fluid simulation. Using this profile, the particlein-celVdynamic Monte Carto simulation yielded the spatiotemporal electron velocity ...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Characterisation of an Atmospheric Pressure Glow Discharge*
Recently there has been considerable interest in atmospheric discharges operating in a glow discharge mode i.e. with a spatial and sheath structure similar to that of low pressure glow discharges [1,2,3]. Here spectroscopy has been used to characterise an atmospheric pressure glow discharge (APGD), operating with either dry air, argon or helium gas flowing through the inter-electrode space and ...

A novel compact fiber-coupled NIR system based on a DFB diode laser source is employed as a portable and sensitive gas sensor for trace detection of combustion pollutant molecules. We demonstrate the performance of such an NIR gas sensor by tracing the absorption lines of CO and CH4 using 2f-WMS technique at moderate temperature of T ~ 600°C in the recuperator channel of an industrial furnace...
