Continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy for velocity distribution measurements in plasma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the development of a continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopic (CW-CRDS) diagnostic for real-time, in situ measurement of velocity distribution functions of ions and neutral atoms in plasma. This apparatus is less complex than conventional CW-CRDS systems. We provide a detailed description of the CW-CRDS apparatus as well as measurements of argon ions and neutrals in a high-density (10(9) cm(-3) < plasma density <10(13) cm(-3)) plasma. The CW-CRDS measurements are validated through comparison with laser induced fluorescence measurements of the same absorbing states of the ions and neutrals.

Continuous wave cavity ring down spectroscopy measurements of velocity distribution functions of argon ions in a helicon plasma.
We report continuous wave cavity ring down spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) measurements of ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs) in low pressure argon helicon plasma (magnetic field strength of 600 G, T(e) ≈ 4 eV and n ≈ 5 × 10(11) cm(-3)). Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) is routinely used to measure VDFs of argon ions, argon neutrals, helium neutrals, and xenon ions in helicon sources. Here, we d...

متن کاملMid-infrared continuous wave cavity ring down spectroscopy of molecular ions using an optical parametric oscillator
A sensitive infrared detection scheme is presented in which continuous wave cavity ring down spectroscopy is used to record rovibrational spectra of molecular ions in direct absorption through supersonically expanding planar plasma. A cw optical parametric oscillator is used as a light source and combines a broad spectral coverage (2100–3600 cm ) and narrow bandwidth (7 kHz) with a high output ...
متن کاملNoise caused by a finite extinction ratio of the light modulator in CW cavity ring-down spectroscopy
A model is presented for the effect of a finite extinction ratio of the light modulator used in continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) experiments. We present a simple analytical expression for the minimum isolation required to prevent a significant increase in the fluctuations of the cavity decay rate, which determine the sensitivity of the method. We also present systematic m...
متن کاملHigh-Sensitivity Boron Nitride Sputter Erosion Measurements by Continuous-Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy
Sputter erosion of boron nitride (BN) plays a key life-limiting role in many Hall thrusters. We report on the development of cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) as a sensitive and accelerated diagnostic for sputter erosion. The measurement approach is based upon probing sputtered boron atoms in the region of 250 nm. We present quantitative detection of sputtered BN using CRDS with a pulsed las...
