Abstract

An experimental method using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) to determine the distribution of neutral manganese in a gas tungsten welding arc is described. The theoretical consideration and experimental difficulties encountered when extending LIF techniques from flames to thermal plasmas are discussed, and preliminary results are presented.
