Analysis of the C${}_2$ (d${}^3{\Pi }_g$-a${}^3{\Pi }_u$) Swan bands as a thermometric probe in CO${}_2$ microwave plasmas

Emile Carbone, Federico D'Isa, Ante Hecimovic +1

The optical emission spectra of high pressure CO${}_2$ microwave plasmas are usually dominated by the C${}_2$ Swan bands. In this paper, the use of the C${}_2$ Swan bands for estimating…
