Microwave Interferometric Measurements of the Electron Density Generated by Sub-Picosecond 100 GW KrF Laser Pulses in Air

摘要

Time-resolved measurements of the electron density produced by sub-picosecond ~100 GW KrF laser lambda=248 nm) pulses in air have been made at pressures between ~10-2 and 103 Torr with a microwave interferometer operating at 9.5 GHz
