Fluid-dynamic characterization of atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium plasma sources for biomedical applications

摘要

The complexity of plasma interaction with biological material and the stiff requisites imposed by biomedical treatments put a premium on diagnostics as a means to investigate process feasibility and to develop plasma sources tailored for specific applications. Among the several diagnostic techniques adopted in the field of cold non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasmas, optical emission spectroscopy (OES), high speed imaging (HSI) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) are widely used.
