| Popis: | We have carried out cross-correlated high-resolved electrodynamical and spectro-optical measurements of different characterizations in a high-stable regime of the dc positive streamer corona in short gap in atmospheric density laboratory air. Special attention was paid to the measurement of absolute intensities of the second positive (SPS) and first negative (FNS) systems of molecular nitrogen as well as for further improvement in the spatiotemporal resolution along with high synchronization and stability. In the cathode region, the FNS and SPS emission temporal waveforms during primary streamer development have been recorded with the cross-correlated synchronization not worse than 0.1 ns and spatiotemporal resolution around 0.01–0.1 mm along the axis and 0.2–0.4 ns in the multiphoton mode of the PMT-based detector and in the single pulse acquisition mode of the measuring system. The shortest rise-times of the corresponding voltage waveforms were found to be around 0.3–0.4 ns for the SPS (0,0)-band and 0.2–0.3 ns for the FNS (0,0)-band, the full widths at the half-altitude ranging around 1.4–1.5 ns and 0.5–0.6 ns, respectively. Again, the absolute values and the ratio of the synchronized temporal waveforms of the SPS to the FNS (0,0)-bands have been recorded across the entire gap in the accumulation and averaging acquisition mode of the measuring system with somewhat worse temporal resolution but with adequate stability and stochasticity. Various supporting characteristics such as the synchronous anode and cathode electric current waveforms, the streamer velocity and the gas temperature within the streamer channel region have been measured and presented as well. All the data in the aggregate allow reconstruction of the 2D structure of the streamer head generally and of the electric field and the electron number density partially. |
