Abstract

A Spectroscopic study on a pulme produced by a reactive laser pulse irradiates the graphite target in a nitrogen atmosphere, two emission bands of C2(d3IIg longrightarrowa3 IIu, Swan band) and CN(B2$\Sigma$+ longrightarrowX$^2$$\Sigma$+, Violet band ) were observed. By simulation of the optical emissionspectra, spectroscopic temperature of $C_2$ and CN molecules were obtained. The depended of vibrational and rotational temperatures on the laser fluence and distance from the target as well as the pressure dependence of the emission intensities of $C_2$ and CN was examined to elucidate the expansion dynamics of the plume and formation mechanisms of $C_2$and CN molecules.
