Measurements of ion acoustic fluctuations in a low density plasma by scattering of pulsed CO 2 laser light
Abstract
Measurements of ion acoustic waves in a low density plasma have been made by 1° scattering of pulsed CO 2 laser light. The heterodyne detection system uses stray light as local oscillator.
