Abstract
Beam-deflection techniques have been shown to perform well for measurements in fluid flows1 and flames.2 Because of the growing interest in laser-produced plasmas we have investigated the capability of beam-deflection techniques for plasma measurements. While other techniques, including Interferometry and schlieren techniques,3 are well established for measuring electron density In laser-produced plasmas, we show that a beam- deflection technique is simple to implement and has advantages over current techniques.
