Transmission of terahertz pulses in DC glow discharge plasma was investigated. Experiments were performed at various discharge currents and moderate pressures. The analysis of the experimental results shows that the transmission of the terahertz pulses through the plasma is dependent on the polarization of the wave with respect to the electric field within the plasma. As a result the transmission decreases as the pressure decreases for p-polarization (perpendicular to the plasma DC electric field). However, for s-polarization the transmission spectrum was not affected.

Characterization of Air-Nitrogen-Argon DC Glow Discharge Plasma with THz Time Domain Spectroscopy
Karaoğlan, Gülten; Tosun, Zahide; Demiral, Akbar; Altan, Hakan (Springer, Dordrecht, 2011-01-01)
Transmission of terahertz pulses through DC glow discharge plasma was investigated for different gases. The pressure was kept in between the range of 0.1 torr–0.5 torr and for each pressure different measurements were taken at 5 mA, 10 mA and 15 mA plasma currents. Moreover, emission spectrum of Air, N2 and Ar plasma analysis were done respectively. It was found that the transmission of terahertz pulses through nitrogen plasma was considerably affected compared to that of the argon plasma.

Transmission of terahertz pulses through DC glow discharge plasma was investigated for different gases. The pressure was kept in between the range of 0.1 torr-0.5 ton and for each pressure different measurements were taken at 5 mA, 10 mA and 15 mA plasma currents. Moreover, emission spectrum of Air, N(2) and Ar plasma analysis were done respectively. It was found that the transmission of terahertz pulses through nitrogen plasma was considerably affected compared to that of the argon plasma.
The influence of a longitudinal magnetic fields on a non-uniform positive column
Akbar, D.; Bilikmen, S. (Wiley, 2007-01-01)
The variations of plasma parameters of a dc discharge in a non-uniform magnetized plasma were measured using fast floating double Langmuir probes. A solenoid is used to produce a uniform magnetic field parallel to the discharge axis. The axial changes of the plasma parameters are presented in the range of longitudinal magnetic fields 200 to 600 Gauss at the pressure range 0.3 to 2.1 Torr and discharge currents 5 and 15 mA in argon gas. The experimental results indicate that, as a consequence of the axial ma...
The electron beam and pinch effect characteristics of double discharge pulsed electron beam generator

The double discharge pulsed electron beam generator (DDPEBG) is a device that generates an intense filamentary electron beam by superposing two discharges namely a low pressure dc glow discharge and a high current pulsed discharge. The characteristics of this electron beam are: small beam diameter (8 μm), high peak current (20 A), and short pulse length (30 ns). The filling gas is helium, argon or nitrogen at approximately 0.1 Torr pressure, and the discharge chamber does not require a high vacuum system. T...
The non-uniform argon dc glow discharge system parameters measured with fast three couples of double probe
Akbar, Demiral; Bilikmen, Kadri Sinan; Department of Physics (2006)
The non-uniform dc glow discharge plasma system is studied by using isolated computer controlled three couples of double probe system (TCDP) in argon gas, simultaneously. TCDP system has been developed to use for magnetized, unmagnetized, and for low oscillating plasma systems by using low pass filter with optically isolated circuitry to minimize the measurement errors with higher resolution and accuracy. Difference in the shapes and diameters of the discharge tube from region to region leads to change in t...
