Abstract
Following some fortunate measurements made by the author it was discovered that rather than a continuous discharge, the system was in fact operating in a semi-stable pulsing regime with a strong mid-IR afterglow light pulse. This led to measurements with a more favourable signal-to-noise ratio, and so a simpler alignment.
