Abstract
A pulse technique has been presented for generating a complete Langmuir probe characteristic curve in a short time interval which can be varied from 1 sec to 1 millisec. The method has been applied successfully to different plasma systems of our laboratory. Several examples have been given for indicating the type of diagnostic studies being carried out with this pulsed probe.
