INTRO TO SPECTRAL DIAGNOSTICS

This course will help you understand plasma processes and interactions in low-temperature plasma (LTP) environments.

This knowledge can be used to develop new technologies for aerospace, manufacturing, medicine, agriculture, and food safety. Potential applications include superhard materials, prosthetics, and food disinfection. Industrial uses of plasma are growing, and completing this course will prepare you for the emerging market.

Plasma is a state of matter consisting of a collection of ionized particles, electrically neutral atoms, and molecules. It makes up more than 90% of the observable universe and underpins several high-tech manufacturing industries. Familiar forms of plasma include the sun, stars, lightning, neon signs, television screen displays, welders' torches, and rocket exhaust.
