Use of self-sustained atmospheric pressure plasma for the scattering and absorption of electromagnetic radiation

摘要: A self-sustained atmospheric pressure system for absorbing or scattering electromagnetic waves using a capillary discharge electrode configuration plasma panel and method the same. Of particular interest is application of this to vary level exposure duration an object waves, as diffraction grating separate multiple wavelength into its respective components. The generation non-thermal controlled by varying supply power panel. When substantially uniform generated absorbs all incident thereby prohibiting (disposed downstream panel) waves. If non-uniform reflects at least some on surface. source employed, scatters reflected from surface in different directions according their individual wavelengths. degree separation between various components depends arrangement spacing capillaries. Thus, may be used separating
