The “SKATE” CO2 Gigawatt Laser for a Laser-Plasma Generator of Ions and Nuclei

A set-up of the CO₂ SKATE and its output characteristics are described. The system is based on a self-sustained gas discharge module with x-ray preionization that ensures reliability and stable repetition rate operation at 1 Hz for a long time. Measurement of the initial electron density in the discharge volume produced by an x-ray gun is presented for different gases and their mixtures, which is of independent interest for some applications of x-ray preionization. Data on measurements of the low-intensity signal gain and laser parameters for a free-running generator configuration are presented as well as long-term operation characteristics. This laser system has been used as a CO₂ generator with gigawatt peak intensity and high spatial–temporal characteristics. In particular, the laser can be used as a driver for a source of multicharged ions in contrast to the laboratory prototypes previously investigated.     

Gap Space Optimization for NO Removal in a Non‐thermal Plasma Discharge

Given the operational constraints of aerospace ground equipments (AGE), the nonthermal plasma discharge (NTPD) has been identified as a promising technology for their NO_x removal. As part of a program to optimize an NTPD system for this particular application, an investigation of the effect of discharge gap spacing on the electrical and chemical processes that occur in NTPDs was initiated. A number of experiments were performed to examine how the gap spacing affects the NO removal efficiency, discharge characteristics, and chemical reactions in a NTPD device. Gap spacings ranging from 0.8 to 4.0 mm were investigated in this study. An optimum gap spacing for NO removal was observed at approximately 2 mm and, based on the experimental data, a physical explanation for the optimum was developed. The experiments, results and conclusions are discusssed in detail in this paper.     

Spectroscopic Determination of Oxygen DC Glow-Discharge Temperature: Radial Profile of Gas Temperature

Rotational temperature in the oxygen DC glow discharge is determined from atmospheric A-band of molecular oxygen.

Numerical Simulation of Ne–Tl and Ne–Ga Ion Hollow-Cathode Lasers

Results of theoretical and experimental studies of the behavior of the level populations and gain factors for the np ^1,3 P – ns ^1,3 S and np ^1,3 P –> (n-1)d ^1,3 D transitions in Tl II (n = 7) and Ga II (n = 5) are presented. These levels are filled due to the charge exchange in thermal collisions of neon ions with thallium and gallium atoms in thallium--neon and gallium--neon mixtures, respectively. The total pumping rate of all levels of a metal due to the charge exchange in the hollow-cathode discharge plasma at the operating concentrations of metal vapors was shown to be equal to the gas ionization rate. The latter is defined by the number of fast electrons and is independent of the charge-exchange cross section. The exciting and deexciting collisions with slow electrons and gas atoms were taken into account for all Tl II and Ga II levels related to the laser ones, and the radiation trapping by the resonance transitions of metal ions was considered. The partial pumping rates by the charge exchange were found for levels with 0 < E() < 1.5 eV. Theoretical results are compared with experimental data. The behavior of the lasing characteristics is explained for the known laser transitions. The parameters of the as yet unknown transitions in the IR range are predicted.     

Radiative Properties of an SHF Discharge Formed by a Ring‐Type Waveguide‐Slot Radiator

The actual spatial distribution of the intensity of SHF discharge glow in oxygen at different distances from the zone of input of SHF power has been investigated by the method of optical emission spectroscopy with subsequent abelization of the experimentally obtained integral characteristics of the intensity of radiation emitted by the OI ( = 777.7 nm) line. The investigations were carried out in a plasmatron on the basis of a ringtype waveguideslot radiator. The experimental results obtained indicate that the best uniformity of optical radiation over the discharge length is attained in the mode of pressureoptimum gas breakdown. Radial distributions of the radiation intensity are complicated in nature, which can be attributed to the differently pronounced skin effect exerted by a plasma on an electromagnetic wave under different discharge conditions. The results of the present work make it possible to interpret the previously obtained data of technological experiments and can be employed in developing technological processes of SHF plasma processing of materials and in designing SHF plasmatrons.
