Measurement of the local electron density by means of stimulated Raman scattering in a laser-produced gas jet plasma.
By measuring the spectrum of the backscattered light from a short-pulse laser-produced plasma in a gas jet, a direct and highly accurate measurement of the local electron density can be obtained. The measurement is based on the density-dependent spectral shift of the backscattered Raman wave.
