A detailed experimental investigation of the mechanism of ultrafast heating and oxygen
dissociation produced by nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges in atmospheric …

The first presentation of the STIRAP (stimulated Raman adiabatic passage) technique with
proper theoretical foundation and convincing experimental data appeared 25 years ago, in …

The flowing afterglow of a microwave discharge can be used to efficiently inactivate bacterial
