Description
This work presents one of the most powerful methods of plasma diagnosis in exquisite detail, guiding researchers through the theory and measurement techniques. Light scattering in plasmas is essential to the research and development of fusion energy, environmental solutions, and electronics. Referred to as the “Bible” by researchers, the work encompasses fusion and industrial applications. It is the only resource in the field dedicated to the plasma scattering technique. The authors provide a wide range of experimental data, and discussion of their principles is tied to worked examples to assist researchers in applying theory. 1.Introduction; 2.Scattered Power Spectrum; 3.Scattering Spectrum from a Low-Temperature Plasma; 4.Incoherent Scattering from a Low-Temperature Plasma; 5.Constraints on Scattering Experiments; 6.Optical Systems; 7.
