Sequenced Nitrogen Lasers for Plasma Diagnostics

Abstract

A sequenced nitrogen laser system operating in the ultraviolet (337.1 nm) has been designed and fabricated for time-resolved plasma diagnostics. The sequencing capability enables multi-shot experiments with precise temporal control between pulses.

Key Results

Each laser module produces pulses of duration ~5 ns with energies of 1-5 mJ. The sequencing system achieves inter-pulse timing accuracy better than 100 ns, enabling pump-probe experiments in plasma fusion studies.
