Spatial characteristics of nanosecond pulsed micro-discharges in atmospheric pressure He/H2O mixture by optical emission spectroscopy

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/ac2e62

Abstract Atmospheric pressure micro-discharges in helium gas with a mixture of 0.5% water vapor between two pin electrodes are generated with nanosecond overvoltage pulses. The temporal and spatial characteristics of the discharges are investigated by means of time-resolved imaging and optical emission spectroscopy with respect to the discharge morphology, gas temperature, electron density, and excited species. The evolution of micro-discharges is captured by intensified CCD camera and electrical properties. The gas temperature is diagnosed by a two-temperature fit to the ro-vibrational OH(A²Σ⁺-X²Π, 0-0) emission band and is found to remain low at 425 K during the discharge pulses. The profile of electron density performed by the Stark broadening of H_α 656.1-nm and He I 667.8-nm lines is uniform across the discharge gap at the initial of discharge and reaches as high as 10²³ m^-3. The excited species of He, OH, and H show different spatio-temporal behaviors from each other by the measurement of their emission intensities, which are discussed qualitatively in regard of their plasma kinetics.
