This paper reviews optical measurements of reactive species in atmospheric-pressure
nonthermal plasmas: streamer discharge, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), plasma jet, and …

Repetitively pulsed gas volume and dielectric surface discharges have gained growing
attention because of peculiar and exciting physics phenomena, high efficiency, high …

A full time-dependent kinetic study is presented for the main microscopic collisional and
radiative processes underlying the optical flashes associated with an impulsive (τ= 5 µs) …

Absorption spectroscopy (AS) represents a reliable method for the characterization of cold
atmospheric pressure plasma jets. The method's simplicity stands out in comparison to …

Although the nanosecond repetitively pulsed (NRP) discharge normally stabilizes into one of
three regimes (corona/glow/spark) in a pulse train, another nonintuitive instability recently …

This paper deals with the measurement of metastable state density in a dielectric barrier
discharge in nitrogen and nitrogen with small admixtures of oxygen, operating in a …

In this paper we review the application of classical optical spectroscopy techniques, optical
emission spectroscopy, laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and absorption, to atmospheric …

Generally, the parameter p· d (pressure× gap distance) in dielectric barrier discharge (DBD)
controls the electrical breakdown and also the plasma characteristics. We investigated the …

A dielectric barrier discharge in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure was investigated by
means of the electrical measurement, the fast photography and the time-resolved …

Atmospheric millimeter-wave discharge was investigated experimentally using a 28 GHz
gyrotron. The propagation velocity of an ionization front, plasma structure, and vibrational …
