Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Preparation of sodium vapors was investigated for the spectroscopy of sodium vapors in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) by use of laser ablation. Delay time behaviors of absorption by sodium D lines in the visible spectral region indicated that the absorption started at approximately 400 ns and it had a peak at 1000 ns of delay time at 1 mm from a sodium target. A model describing the plasma plume expansion of sodium reproduced the experimental delay time behaviors. As a result, the peak value of neutral sodium number density was evaluated on the order of 1e17 cm-3, which may be high enough to carry on the VUV spectroscopy of sodium.
