Near infra-red absorption spectroscopy for astrophysically significant ions
摘要
We present a novel laboratory astrophysics experiment to obtain photoabsorption spectra of neutral and near neutral atomic species in the near infrared (NIR) spectral region. A laser produced plasma containing the ions of interest is probed by the collimated output of a supercontinuum fiber laser. The resulting absorption spectrum is recorded on a 0.75-m spectrograph equipped with a complimentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera. Spectra of yttrium plasmas were recorded 11
