Title: Determination of gas temperature and density by measuring ultraviolet gas absorption at two wavelengths

Journal Article · · J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.329642· OSTI ID:6397364

A technique is described which demonstrates how deployment of two different uv wavelengths may be utilized in absorption measurements to simultaneously derive both the temperature and number density of a gas. A mathematical formulation is presented which defines how one can estimate the sensitivity of the technique.
