Description
   Our group has developed for several years experimental and theoretical capabilities for the study of plasma ablation for nano-technology and novel LIDAR for environment i.e. advanced optical remote sensors for airborne and spaceborne platforms:
  1. Fundamental studies on laser ablation plasma plume dynamics have been performed by various space- and time-resolved electrical and optical emission spectroscopy techniques to investigate both innovative materials of high interest, for nanotechnology field and to analyze the accelerated erosion of ceramic materials used in plasma space propulsion (Hall Effect Thrusters - HETs). These experiments were developed on a running HET at the France ground test facility PIVOINE-2G (Orléans).
  2. In order to better understanding the fundamental of some critical physico-chemical transformation of the atmosphere compounds but also for applications point of view, a new LIDAR power instrument has been developed, too. This optical device is able to capture fast plume airborne image (2ns gate time) and based space-time resolved Raman spectroscopy and may used to investigate in real time several chemical compound behaviour at a given point of the free atmosphere (up to 15 km altitude).
