Measurement of OH Radicals in Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasmas by Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy

【摘要】 <正> Near-infrared continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy was applied to measurethe OH radicals in dielectric barrier discharge plasmas, which play an important role incombustion systems, atmospheric chemistry and the removal of air pollutants by non-thermalplasmas. The P-branches of OH X~∏_i (ν′=2←ν″=0) bands were used for number densitymeasurements. The OH number density and plasma temperature were determined for differentapplied voltages, gas pressures and concentrations of both oxygen and water. The temporal evolutionof the OH number density was obtained by using the "time window" method, which was usedto extract individual ring-down times at different times in a half period of the sine wave appliedvoltage in dielectric barrier discharge plasmas.更多还原
