Abstract
The scattered radiation spectrum obtained in probing a high-frequency (hf) pulse plasma with a laser beam is discussed. The presence of satellites is attributed to Raman scattering at plasma vibrations occasioned by electron drift. The procedure, and results of measuring the electron density on the basis of the intensity of scattered radiation are described. Preliminary calibration of the apparatus was carried out by comparison with Rayleigh scattering in air and in argon.
