Although plasmas commonly present as electrical neutrality, for plasma jet plume at
atmospheric gas pressure, it might appear nonneutral polarity due to plasma bullet being …

The optically pumped rare-gas metastable laser is capable of high-intensity lasing on a
broad range of near-infrared transitions for excited-state rare gas atoms (Ar*, Kr*, Ne*, Xe*) …

Plasma bullet is the formation and propagation of a guided ionization wave (streamer),
normally generated in atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ). In most cases, only an …

Different discharge morphologies in atmospheric Ar and He plasmas are excited by using a
pulsed microwave hairpin resonator. Ar plasmas form an arched plasma plume at the …

Optically pumped rare gas lasers (OPRGLs) have shown great potential to generate high
