Abstract :
The application of a far-infrared interferometer to transient plasma diagnostics is described. The experimental performance of the interferometer under varying plasma conditions is presented. Detailed discussion is devoted to such important system parameters as observable density range, spatial resolution, time response, calibration techniques, and gamma radiation effects.
