Sample interview questions: Describe any experience you have with plasma diagnostics based on laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy.
Sample answer:
Laser-Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy (LIF) Experience
- Led a team that developed and implemented a LIF diagnostic system for a tokamak plasma.
- Optimized laser wavelength, pulse duration, and repetition rate to enhance fluorescence signal-to-noise ratio.
- Performed measurements of temperature, density, and velocity distribution functions of atomic and molecular species in various plasma regimes.
- Developed calibration procedures and quantified uncertainties associated with LIF measurements.
