Pulsed Plasma Diagnostic by a New CCD Technique
Abstract
Variation of refractive index allows the measurement of several properties of a transparent media such as pulsed plasma. There are two different ways to obtain that variation: by beam-deflection angle measurement (shadowgraphy) or by phase-measurement (interferometry). These methods had been improved using new sensors such as quadrant detectors and charged coupled devices (CCD). Recently with the advent of commercial gated intensified CCDâs (ICCD), it is possible to obtain nanosecond time resolution, high spatial resolution and good sensitivity.
