Abstract

It is proposed to use apertures with large acceptance angles to reduce the integration time when studying the emissivity of laser induced plasmas by means of the Abel inversion method. The spatial resolution lost due to contributions of angled lines of sight to the intensity data collected along the plasma plume diameter is restored by a special numerical data processing. The procedure is meant for the laser induced plasma diagnostics and tomography when the integration time needed to achieve a reasonable signal to noise ratio exceeds a characteristic time scale of the plasma state variations which is short especially at early stages of the plasma evolution. It can also be used to improve the spatial resolution in a conventional experimental setup for plasma diagnostics.
