Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) excites specific atomic or molecular species in the plasma using a laser and measures the resulting fluorescence emission
Provides spatially and temporally resolved measurements of plasma parameters such as , temperature, and velocity
Plasma tomography reconstructs 2D or 3D images of plasma parameters from multiple line-of-sight measurements using mathematical algorithms (filtered back-projection, algebraic reconstruction techniques)
Enables visualization of plasma structure and dynamics
Applications include understanding fundamental plasma processes (ionization, excitation, recombination) and optimizing plasma-based manufacturing processes (etching, deposition, surface modification)
determined by the optical system and detector characteristics (laser beam size, detector pixel size), typically in the range of micrometers to millimeters
Temporal resolution depends on the laser pulse duration and detector response time, ranging from nanoseconds to microseconds
Trade-offs between spatial and temporal resolution exist
Higher spatial resolution often requires longer acquisition times
Higher temporal resolution may limit the spatial resolution
