摘要：
The characteristics of a plasma formed by a focused ultrashort laser in atmospheric-pressure air are studied with linear and circular pulses. We show that the ionization threshold for circular pulses is 1.36 times higher than for that linear pulses. Using an intensified CCD camera, we study plasma emission over seven orders of magnitude in a dynamic range. In spite of possessing a lower total ion number, plasmas produced by circular pulses are found to be brighter visible-light emitters than those produced by linear pulses of the same energy. This indicates that circular pulses produce plasmas with more electron kinetic energy than linear pulses and that kinetic energy plays a role in the optical emission intensity. The presence of high energy electrons is verified by demonstrating that a high-ionization-potential gas can be made to radiate more brightly by the addition of a low-ionization-potential gas even though the second gas lowers the achievable focal intensity.
