Résumé

Absolute densities of chlorine atoms were determined in an inductively coupled plasma in pure chlorine gas as a function of gas pressure and RF power by two-photon laser-induced fluorescence. A new technique is proposed to put the relative two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (TALIF) measurements on an absolute scale, based on photolysis of Cl2 gas (without plasma) with a tripled Nd : YAG laser at 355 nm. Because the dissociation cross-section and photo-dissociation laser beam energy density are well known, the absolute densities can be determined with high accuracy. We find that the ratio of the Cl atom density normalized to the Cl2 gas density without plasma at the reactor centre increases with RF power and decreases with gas pressure, reaching 20% at 2 mTorr 500 WRF.
