Recent Advances in Stark Line Broadening Calculations and their Applications to Precise Spectroscopy of Pulsed Plasmas
نویسنده
چکیده
A new method for the calculation of the spectral line broadening in plasma has been developed and implemented. The main idea of the method is to numerically simulate the motion of the plasma particles, both ions and electrons, and use the resulting time-dependent field to evaluate the emitter oscillating function, the Fourier transform of which provides the spectral line shape. We applied this method to the analysis of dipole-forbidden line shapes used for the determination of plasma properties.

Hydrogen Balmer Series Spectroscopy in Laser-induced Breakdown Plasmas
A review is presented of recent experiments and diagnostics based on Stark broadening of hydrogen Balmer lines in laser-induced optical breakdown plasmas. Experiments primarily utilize pulsed Nd:YAG laser radiation at 1064-nm and nominal 10 nanosecond pulse duration. Analysis of Stark broadening and shifts in the measured H-alpha spectra, combined with Boltzmann plots from H-alpha, H-beta and H...
متن کاملStark broadening experiments on a vacuum arc discharge in tin vapor.
Pinched discharge plasmas in tin vapor are candidates for application in future semiconductor lithography tools. This paper presents time-resolved measurements of Stark broadened linewidths in a pulsed tin discharge. Stark broadening parameters have been determined for four lines of the Sn III spectrum in the range from 522 to 538 nm, based on a cross-calibration to a Sn II line with a previous...

White dwarf stars are traditionally found to have surface compositions made primarily of hydrogen or helium. However, a new family has recently been uncovered, the so-called hot DQ white dwarfs, which have surface compositions dominated by carbon and oxygen with little or no trace of hydrogen and helium (Dufour et al. 2007, 2008, 2010). Deriving precise atmospheric parameters for these objects ...
متن کاملTime- and space-resolved spectroscopy of dynamic hohlraum interiors
A dynamic hohlraum is created when an annular z-pinch plasma implodes onto a cylindrical 0.014 g/cc 6-mm-diameter CH2 foam. The impact launches a radiating shock that propagates toward the axis at w350 mm/ns. The radiation trapped by the tungsten z-pinch plasma forms a w200 eV hohlraum that provides X-rays for indirect drive inertial confinement fusion capsule implosion experiments. We are deve...
متن کاملDirect Comparison of Electron Density Measurements in Laser-created Plasmas Using Stark Broadening and Satellite Line Intensities
Spectral line profiles, broadened mostly by Stark effects from electric fields produced by charge particles, and dielectronic satellite line intensities have recently been used for determining electron densities in the dense region of lasercreated plasmas [1-3]. We present here a direct comparison of electron density measurements in the conduction region of laser created plasmas on a plane targ...
