Outline of Final Research Achievements |
THz time-domain spectroscopy has been widely applied to measure free electron density and collision rates of various types of plasma. We have applied the method to a laser induced plasma in a gas cell. A two color dye laser was introduced into the gas cell filled with Rb atoms, and the Rb atoms were ionized through multi-photon ionization process. After the excitation by the laser pulses, a THz pulse is coaxially introduced into the gas cell, and the electron density was successfully measured. By scanning the excitation wavelength of the laser pulse, we have also succeeded in the spectroscopy of Rydberg states of Rb atoms.
