Atmospheric pressure low temperature plasma jet diagnosis device based on microwave resonant cavity
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of plasma and microwave, and particularly relates to an atmospheric pressure low-temperature plasma jet diagnosis device based on a microwave resonant cavity.
Background
The electron density of the plasma is one of the most important features of the plasma, and for low temperature plasma at atmospheric pressure, the electron density of the plasma can be very low (about 10)12-1013cm-3). Methods of measuring electron density are various. However, currently available methods are either not sensitive enough or do not allow tracking of dynamic processes in non-stationary discharges.
The plasma electron density can be measured by a method using the interaction of electromagnetic waves with plasma. At present, a great deal of research is already carried out on ionized layers and different types of gas discharge plasmas by utilizing radio wave detection technologies of different frequency bands, however, the research for researching low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasmas by using the method is still few, which means that a new method for diagnosing the low-temperature plasmas needs to be developed.

Detailed Description
The technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely explained below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1 to illustrate the present embodiment, an atmospheric pressure low temperature plasma jet diagnosis device based on a microwave resonant cavity includes a first detecting antenna 1, a second detecting antenna 2, a resonant cavity 3, a placing hole 4, a spectrum analyzer 6, a test bed 7 and a jet discharge glass tube, wherein the resonant cavity 3 is placed on the test bed 7, the inside of the resonant cavity 3 is fully covered by a metal copper foil, the placing hole 4 is formed on the resonant cavity 3, the jet discharge glass tube is placed in the placing hole 4, the jet discharge glass tube is internally provided with a jet plasma and connected with an electrode, the first detecting antenna 1 and the second detecting antenna 2 are symmetrically arranged in the cavity of the resonant cavity 3, and the first detecting antenna 1 and the second detecting antenna 2 are respectively connected with an input end and an output end of the spectrum analyzer 6.
In this embodiment, the first detecting antenna 1 and the second detecting antenna 2 are disposed at a quarter of the cavity of the resonant cavity 3 from the edge, and the jet plasma is disposed at a quarter of the cavity edge of the resonant cavity 3 at the other side. The number of the placing holes 4 is one or two, the two placing holes 4 are symmetrically arranged on the resonant cavity 3, the resonant cavity 3 is of a cylindrical structure and is fixed through a support, the diameter of the resonant cavity 3 is 152mm, the length of the resonant cavity is 480mm, the outer diameter of the jet flow discharge glass tube is 8mm, the wall thickness of the jet flow discharge glass tube is 1.5mm, and the jet flow plasma state observation device is used for observing the state of jet flow plasma. The lengths of the first detection antenna 1 and the second detection antenna 2 are equal and are both 30mm, the model of the spectrum analyzer 6 is Rigol DSA815-TG, and the highest operating frequency range is 9kHz-1.5 GHz. The power supply of the diagnosis device is a sinusoidal voltage source, the frequency is 28kHz, and the amplitude is 3 kV. The spectrum analyzer 6 comprises two connectors, one for input and the other for tracking the output of the generator, the input and output terminals being connected to the first detecting antenna 1 and the second detecting antenna 2, respectively, so that one antenna acts as a transmitter and excites eigenmodes within a certain bandwidth, while the other becomes a receiver and records the spectrum of the excited eigenmodes.
In this embodiment, two placing holes 4 with a diameter of 10mm are provided at a position 120mm away from the wall of the cylindrical cavity 3, and the jet plasma is placed through the two placing holes 4. The first three eigenmodes TE111, TE112 and TE113 of the cylindrical cavity 3 have frequencies in the range 1-1.5GHz, and the experiment uses the TE112 eigenmode of the cylindrical cavity 3. First, it is necessary to measure the spectral characteristics of the cylindrical resonator 3 without studying the plasma and to record with the spectrum analyzer 6 in order to observe the TE112 spectrum of the eigenmode of the cylindrical resonator 3. The eigenmode has two maxima of the radial component of the electric field along the cylindrical resonator 3, at a distance from each of the two end walls of the cylindrical resonator 3 equal to a quarter of the length of the cylindrical resonator 3. After tuning the spectrum analyzer 6, the frequency and quality factor Q of the eigenmode of the TE112 of the cylindrical cavity 3 needs to be determined. Then, the plasma under study was installed through the placement hole 4, and the frequency of the TE112 mode and the variation of the quality factor Q were determined. From the changes in the frequency of the TE112 mode and the quality factor Q, the average electron density and the frequency of electron collisions in the plasma within the cavity can be determined using well-known perturbation theory and the dielectric constant and conductivity expressions for the plasma. In studying a discharge or plasma jet of non-uniform length, a movable jet discharge glass tube gradually pushes the studied plasma into the resonant cavity 3, and the frequency of the TE112 mode and the change in the quality factor Q are measured at each step. The noise generated by the change in electron density with time has two causes, the first being some malfunction in a short time, and the second being related to the sensitivity of the experimental apparatus. Although the measurements given are of somewhat estimated nature, the plasma electron density obtained is consistent with known data for a barrier discharge jet in helium. The results of the experiments confirm the achievement of the specified technical result, the device being able to measure the electron density in stable and unstable discharge plasmas, and the electron concentration distribution of the low-temperature plasma jet along the atmospheric pressure.
