For plasma window (PW) applications, we developed the cascade arc discharge device with
an indirectly heated hollow cathode. The 8-mm channel diameter hollow cathode made of a …

We present two-dimensional (2D) optical Thomson scattering measurements of electron
density and temperature in laser-produced plasmas. The novel instrument directly measures …

We have developed a non-collective Thomson scattering diagnostic for measurements of
electron density and temperature on the Large Plasma Device. A triple grating spectrometer …

With the emergence of high-repetition-rate two-dimensional Thomson scattering (TS)
measurements, improving spectral data analysis is a key area of interest. We present a new …

We present optical Thomson scattering measurements of electron density and temperature
in high Mach number laser-driven blast waves in homogeneous gases. Taylor–Sedov blast …

We have developed a Thomson scattering measurement system for the cascade arc
discharge device designed for the plasma window (PW) application study. The PW is one of …

The laminar coupling of energy between a laser-produced plasma and a background
magnetized plasma was investigated via planar laser induced fluorescence diagnostic and …

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous throughout the Universe, but the origin of cosmic and galactic
magnetic fields is still under investigation. One theorized source of cosmic magnetic seed …
