Argon Laser-Sustained Plasma Footage, Pressure Data, and Spectral Data

This dataset contains high-speed video footage, pressure data, spectrograms, laser-pulse shape data, and a list of experimental trials on argon Laser-Sustained Plasma (LSP). LSP is the core mechanism powering Laser-Thermal Propulsion (LTP), a high-efficiency space propulsion concept. This data was collected at McGill University as part of the following TU Delft Master's Thesis:<br>Duplay, Emmanuel. “Argon Laser-Plasma Thruster - Design and Test of a Laboratory Model.” M.Sc. Thesis, Delft University of Technology, 2024. http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:3a853f2e-2d8c-496b-a016-9e9855e8069c<br><strong>Versions</strong>Two versions of the dataset are available. The complete version which includes high-speed LSP footage, and a "light" version which does not include video.<em>Complete Dataset</em> - Uncompressed size: 19.4 GB<em>No Video Dataset</em> - Uncompressed size: 13 MB
