induced plasma generated by a nanosecond Nd: YAG laser radiation at 532 nm in argon at
reduced pressure. Plasma diagnostics was performed with the use of the laser Thomson
scattering method, free from assumptions about the plasma thermodynamic equilibrium, its
composition but also independently of plasma emission spectra. The profiles were
investigated in wide range of electron densities and temperatures, from 2.81· 10 22 m− 3 to …
