One-dimensional mapping of femtosecond laser filaments using coherent microwave scattering
Nicholas Babusis, Adam Patel, Rokas Jutas +5
This paper reports on the use of coherent microwave scattering (CMS) for spatially resolved electron number density measurements of elongated plasma structures induced at mid-IR fe…
Application of Coherent Microwave Scattering and Multiphoton Ionization for Diagnostics of Electric Propulsion Systems
Adam R. Patel, Sashin L. B. Karunarathne, Nicholas Babusis +1
Nonintrusive measurements of plasma properties are essential to evaluate, and numerically simulate, the in-flight performance of electric propulsion systems. As a logical first ste…
Ionization rate and plasma dynamics at 3.9 micron femtosecond photoionization of air
Adam Patel, Claudia Gollner, Rokas Jutas +5
The introduction of mid-IR optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers (OPCPAs) has catalyzed interest in multi-millijoule, infrared femtosecond pulse-based filamentation. As tunne…
Initial transient stage of pin-to-pin nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges in air
Xingxing Wang, Adam Patel, Alexey Shashurin
In this work, evolution of parameters of nanosecond repetitively pulsed (NRP) discharges in pin-to-pin configuration in air was studied during transient stage of initial twenty dis…
Experimental study of atmospheric pressure single-pulse nanosecond discharge in pin-to-pin configuration
Xingxing Wang, Adam Patel, Sally Bane +1
In this work, we present an experimental study of nanosecond high-voltage discharges in a pin-to-pin electrode configuration at atmospheric conditions operating in single-pulse mod…
Thomson and Collisional Regimes of In-Phase Coherent Microwave Scattering Off Gaseous Microplasmas
Adam R. Patel, Apoorv Ranjan, Xingxing Wang +3
The total number of electrons in a classical microplasma can be non-intrusively measured through elastic in-phase coherent microwave scattering (CMS). Here, we establish a theoreti…
Combined Microwave and Laser Rayleigh Scattering Diagnostics for Pin-to-Pin Nanosecond Discharges
Xingxing Wang, Adam Patel, Alexey Shashurin
In this work, the temporal decay of electrons produced by an atmospheric pin-to-pin nanosecond discharge operating in the spark regime was measured via a combination of microwave R…
Liquid-Fed Pulsed Plasma Thruster for Propelling Nanosatellites
Adam R. Patel, Yunping Zhang, Alexey Shashurin
This paper presents a novel micropropulsion system for nanosatellite applications - a liquid fed pulsed-plasma thruster (LF-PPT) comprised of a Lorentz-force pulsed plasma accelera…
