Time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy was utilized to determine the main discharge parameters in nanosecond-pulsed discharges ignited in liquid nitrogen between two bismuth electrodes, including electron temperature, electron density, and optical thickness. By directly plunging the optical fiber into the liquid, nineteen lines belonging to the Bi I system and seven to the Bi II system could be recorded, overcoming the lack of data for the Stark parameters.
Time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy of nanosecond-pulsed discharges ignited in liquid nitrogen between two bismuth electrodes is used to determine the main discharge parameters (electron temperature, electron density and optical thickness). Nineteen lines belonging to the Bi I system and seven to the Bi II system could be recorded by directly plunging the optical fibre into the liquid in close vicinity to the discharge. The lack of data for the Stark parameters to evaluate the broadening of the Bi I lines was solved by taking advantage of the time-resolved information supported by each line to determine them. The electron density was found to decrease exponentially from 6.5 +/- 1.5 x 10(16) cm(-3) 200 ns after ignition to 1.0 +/- 0.5 x 10(16) cm(-3) after 1050 ns. The electron temperature was found to be 0.35 eV, close to the value given by Saha's equation.
