Synchronized observation of pressure wave influence on plasma–target interaction using optical wave microphone and high-speed camera by Thuzar Phyo Wai, Nway Htet Htet Myo, Kota Hagiwara, Fumiaki Mitsugi

“…One of the most important observations on what plasma jets emit is pressure waves, which have been focused on the energic distribution of electric discharges in atmospheric pressure. A unique optical technique called an optical wave microphone works based on the Fraunhofer diffraction of laser for phase objects, and it has successfully detected shockwaves emitted by helium and argon plasma jet at the downstream of the plasma jet in the applied voltage frequency order of kilohertz. …”
