Characterization of nanosecond, femtosecond and dual pulse laser energy deposition in air for flow control and diagnostic applications

<p> The non-resonant heating of gases by laser irradiation and plasma formation has been under investigation since the development of 100 megawatt peak power, Q-switched, nanosecond pulse duration lasers and the commensurate discovery of laser air sparks. More recently, advances in mode-lockin...
