Abstract:
The concentration of nitrogen dioxide produced under the effect of the ionizing radiation from an optical-breakdown plasma cell in air is calculated. Basic parameters of an NO2 gas mantle are obtained as functions of the laser pulse duration and intensity. It is noted that the mantle with an enhanced concentration of nitrogen dioxide and oxygen ions around a plasma cell significantly affects the time parameters of plasma radiation, because it screens the plasma luminescent radiation in the visible spectral region.
