Abstract

Absorption of CO2 laser radiation is experimentally shown to be a useful plasma-diagnostic technique, spatially, temporally, and quantitatively. Electron densities determined from absorption agree well with shock-produced plasma values. Comparison of densities obtained via absorption, interferometry, and Langmuir probes in a plasma jet also show good agreement in magnitude and spatial dependence.
