| Description | Time resolved electron density in an atmospheric pressure amplitude modulated microwave plasma jet is determined using the microwave interferometry method, refined by numerical modelling of the propagation of non-planar electromagnetic waves in the vicinity of a small diameter, dense collisional plasma filament. The results are compared to those from the Stark broadening of the H-beta emission line. Both techniques show, both qualitatively and quantitatively, a similar temporal evolution of electron density during one modulation period. |
