LPN-PPPL is equipped with advanced laser diagnostics for in-situ characterization of plasma and monitoring of nanoparticle growth and transport in plasmas, including high-speed pyrometry imaging, Laser-induced Fluorescence (LIF), Laser-induced Incandescence (LII), and Coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin Scattering (CRBS).

CRBS diagnostic is unique for detecting of nanoparticles of less than nm scale and up to ~ 10's nm in gas phase synthesis environments. LII is applicable for detecting of nanoparticles of larger than 10's nm in gas phase synthesis environments.
