Abstract

The time waveforms of the intensity of spectral lines associated with a germanium laser plasma is studied by the emission spectroscopy method. The plasma is generated by irradiating a germanium target by a pulsed-periodic IR radiation from a neodymium laser, and the intensity waveforms are taken at distances of 1 and 7 mm from the target. From the intensity waveforms, the plasma parameters, such as the ion recombination time and the electron temperature and concentration, are determined. The time variation of the emission characteristics and plasma parameters is analyzed.
