Coherent microwave scattering from laser-induced plasmas, including weakly ionized
plasma, laser sparks, multiphoton ionization, and resonance enhanced multi-photon …

Measurements of parameters of small-size plasmas are very challenging because many
traditional diagnostic approaches cannot be used. Constructive coherent microwave …

We present an experimental study of nanosecond high-voltage discharges in a pin-to-pin
electrode configuration at atmospheric conditions operating in a single-pulse mode (no …

The total number of electrons in a classical microplasma can be non-intrusively measured
through elastic in-phase coherent microwave scattering (CMS). Here, we establish a …

In this work, the temporal decay of electrons produced by an atmospheric pin-to-pin
nanosecond discharge operating in the spark regime was measured via a combination of …

The decay of the electron density and electron collision frequency between successive
discharges in a pulsed plasma jet in N 2 feed gas has been investigated using microwave …

The recent energy crisis revealed that there is a strong need to replace hydrocarbon-fueled
industrial nitrogen fixation processes by alternative, more sustainable methods. In light of …

This work details electron density and temperature measurements within an atmospheric
nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharge in air using Thomson scattering. High voltage …

Through using a direct-current driven plasma jet operated underwater, degradation of
methylene blue (MB) is investigated with air and oxygen used as working gases. With a low …

Nonintrusive measurements of plasma properties are essential to evaluate, and numerically
simulate, the in-flight performance of electric propulsion systems. As a logical first step in the …
