This article reviews a variety of methods to obtain the electron temperature and density by
the emission line ratios for low-temperature plasmas containing argon or nitrogen gas …

A continuous‐wave (CW) organic solid‐state laser is highly desirable for spectroscopy,
sensing, and communications, but is a significant challenge in optoelectronics. The …

A non-thermal plasma source (plasma needle') generated under atmospheric pressure by
means of radio-frequency excitation has been characterized. Plasma appears as a small …

Conversion of CO 2 into CO and O is studied in a flowing gas surfaguide pulsed microwave
discharge operating with CO 2 and CO 2+ N 2 gas mixtures under different conditions …

The electron‐impact dissociation of N2 to form two nitrogen atoms is observed in a crossed
beam experiment at electron energies between 18.5 and 148.5 eV. Detection of the …

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

This paper reviews optical diagnostic methods and approaches applied to study the
fundamentals of streamer discharges, considering the peculiarities of streamers developing …

An atmospheric pressure capacitive discharge source has been developed that operates at
power densities over 100 W cm− 3. The ground state nitrogen atom concentration was …

A study is conducted of the principal chemical effects induced by the passage of a single
sprite streamer through the mesosphere at an altitude of 70 km. Recent high‐speed imaging …

In dielectric barrier discharges in helium-nitrogen mixtures of 1 bar the rotational
temperature of the first negative system (transitions N+ 2 (B→ X)) depends on the nitrogen …
