This work discusses laboratory measurements of atomic and diatomic molecular species in laser-plasma generated in gases. Noticeable self-absorption of the Balmer series hydrogen alpha line occurs for electron densities of the order of one tenth of standard ambient temperature and pressure density. Emission spectra of selected diatomic molecules in air or specific gaseous mixtures at or near atmospheric pressure reveal minimal plasma re-absorption. Abel inversion of the plasma in selected gases and gas mixtures confirm expansion dynamics that unravel regions of atomic and molecular species of different electron temperature and density. Time resolved spectroscopy diagnoses self-absorption of hydrogen alpha and hydrogen beta lines in ultra-high pure hydrogen gas. Radiation from a Nd:YAG laser device induces micro-plasma for pulse widths in the range of 6–14 ns, energies in the range of 100–800 mJ, and peak irradiances of the order 1–10 TW/cm 2 . Atomic line profiles yield electron density and temperature from fitting of line profiles to wavelength and sensitivity corrected spectral radiance data. Analysis of measured diatomic emission data yields excitation temperature of primarily molecular recombination spectra. Applications of the laboratory experiments extend to investigations of stellar astrophysics white dwarf spectra.

AbstractThe emission spectra of various hydrocarbon plasmas used in the growth of amorphous hydrogenated carbon (α-C:H) thin films have been measured.The presence of CH, H, H2, and C2 species in the plasma have been observed.The chemical composition of the α-C:H films was determined by combustion analysis and shows roughly equal atomic concentrations of H and C and a surprising large concentration of 0.The plasma emission spectra and chemical composition results can be partially understood in terms of relative bond strengths of the different molecules involved, and these results give some insights into the growth kinetics of α-C:H thin films.
