Laser induced perturbation in a plasma

The interaction between a 20 MW Q-switched ruby laser pulse and a partially ionized argon plasma has been studied experimentally. When the focused laser pulse is fired into the plasma', a transient emission from the plasma may be observed both in the continuum and line emission. From measuremen...
