Book excerpt: Two experimental diagnostic techniques were developed and applied to plume measurements of low power (1 kW class) hydrogen arcjets. The outstanding experimental problem of measurement of plume species density was addressed using two photon, laser induced fluorescence. Current modulation velocimetry was applied to the study of plume velocity fluctuations and it was found that they exhibited no correlation with the supply current ripple and appeared to be random.
