Abstract

A method for estimating the size and electron density of open-air plasmas by its image is developed. The plasma density is then derived from the plasma inductance in open-air and approved by the comparisons with the commonly used current–voltage method and Stark broadening method. Applying the imaging and Stark broadening method, properties of the pulsed discharge under atmospheric pressure are investigated by adjusting the pulse width. As a result of the decrease of the pulse width, the upward trends appear in the electron density and excitation temperature, however, the downward trend is observed in the gas temperature. The global model is applied to simulate the temporal evolutions of the electron density and electron temperature. Both of the experimental and simulation results suggest that the discharge volume in open-air has a strong effect on the time-averaged electron density period whereas the time-averaged electron temperature within the pulse-on time is relied on the remnant electron density.
